this week has been slow and quite with no team here. i really have been enjoying it.
there was a problem yesterday though. there are these golf ball sized seads that continuously fall out of the trees at casa hogar and they quickly become moving projectiles... which is quite painful (i know from experience) so yesterday started out with the kids chucking these small seads at each other and it was only a matter of time before someone got hurt. well, it so happend that one of the new boys got hit in the mouth. i think his name is lizandro. although he was asking for it, he got his and instantly started crying. so i got up, picked him up, and sat down on the steps with him. as i rocked him in my arms he is crying and limp against me. after a while he starts to sniffle and the snot and spit merge together and dripp down his face onto his shirt. at this point, monse, who is now sitting next to me, start to laugh. i start to laugh. he starts to laugh. after sitting in my lap for a little long he is back up on his feet and goes off to dig worms with two other of the little boys. i laughed as i thought of two things yesterday. 1. love is a universale language. all lizandro needed was a lap and a hug. 2. little boys are the same every where... get hurt, cry, get over it quickly. he later came and found me and showed me his worm.
how i love kids and their funny moments.
mom, the blues shoes are now on emilio s feet. i believe they are the same ones.
emily... the kids did get your christmas gifts. and when you come down here for you two months i think lupe and most of the other kids will cry of happiness. you are greatly loved down here by many of the kids. as far as i know, marisol is living with an aunt. i havent seen her but i am told that she comes and visits sometimes.

"Little boys are the same everywhere..." Beautifully said Ray!
Do you have to pay for time for the computer? Curious about your funding? Need more? Dont be shy to say.
At the beginning of this week the girl was wondering if you were going to be her counselor this week at SBW and then I reminded her you were EVERYONES counselor at Casa Hogar. She has Michelle and Shannon S. this year. Life is good you know! I told her not everyone gets the Bradley girls Back to back in the summer.
Sending you kisses sweet friend xoox P
