Nosotros Casadamos

I think....that is how to say we are tired. (this is emily.)

So...it´s weird writing on a blog. Who knows if anyone is really reading this? Justin spoke at two schools today on sexual purity and the lies that the culture tells us. They allowed the students to write down questions to ask him. They asked so many questions, and were so hungry for the truth that they actually stayed AFTER school to get more answered! EVERY student that was there!!! No one left when they had the chance! We are seeing a real need for this here.



I stayed back from the second school and painted the phrase ¨jardin del ninos¨ on the side of the bus that people from Cincinnati bought for them. I did some more art projects with them and worked on my spanish with the kids. It´s actually coming along pretty well! I can communicate most of the things I need to, although I can´t seem to figure out how to say anything in past or future tense.



Poverty must be so exhausting. Everything is so much harder when you can´t afford the correct tools for the job. It takes so long! You have to walk to get the tools, walk them back, or not use them at all. Stand in the blazing sun to do the job, not have water unless you walk for it, etc, etc, etc. It just adds up to a life that is so much harder and more tiring than I can imagine.
