Five More Days!

So, I have been extremely blessed by being able to stay five more days here, which means I´ll be coming back on the 19th. With everything being so busy with the group here, I hadn´t prepared myself mentally to leave, so two days ago I practically had a melt down at the thought. Also, the group from Indiana REALLY needs my help. I have had very little rest time for sure, except at night when they all go to sleep. My brain hurts from all the translating, but I recognize that this is what I have to offer to God as my service here, so I enjoy it. My Spanish is also getting a LOT better. I´ve learned a lot of medical terms too, as we did a medical clinic from about 8:00 - 2:00 today. Things are going great. These five days will buy me lots of time, and I´ll be able to visit Emilio and his family again.

I´m off to take care of a few logistical items, like buying essentials for things I ran out of right on time - IF I were leaving today as planned. We´re off to the girls´ orphanage to have ice cream and play with them at 4:30, so I´ve got an hour to shop, go to the hotel, shower, change, etc. We´ll see! More to come.

I´ll leave you with the words to one of my new favorite Spanish praise songs.

Tu amor por mi es mas dulce que la miel Your love for me is sweeter than honey
Tu misericordia es nueva cada dia Your mercies are new every day
es por eso que te alabo It´s because of this I worship you
es por eso que te sigo It´s because of this I follow you
es por eso que te doy todo mi amor It´s because of this I give you all my love

It sounds much prettier in Spanish than it translates into English. Trust me.
