Gladys was sick today giving me my first real test with the
niños. Yesterday was a little crazy—one of our students, Rolando, arrived in
the transporte (bus) kicking, crying, flailing and screaming, and that pretty
much set the tone for the day—so I was a little nervous going into it. People
always say that God only gives you what you can handle, and I couldn’t agree
more. Only 12 of our 25 or so students showed up this morning (only 3 boys)!
Although some of the kids tested my patience by constantly
being out of their seat, the day went great! Hermana Graciela popped in and out
and one of the moms helped out a little, too. I lead the prayers by myself
(finally know all of the words!) and even described our activities and work for
the day. As a special treat, we listened to the story of Red Riding Hood, and
Hermana Graciela brought in a wolf hat. The kids LOVED it, and thought it was
so funny when I was the wolf. The best part by far though was when Hermana Graciela wore it, and the kids
were running and screaming around the room. Test 1=pass!
