July 7
Things were a bit different this
morning. Evelin went with Jen and Alicia to the merkado (market) and dispensa
(grocery store) to get food for the week. Evelin wanted to learn administration
stuff so Gracie put her in charge of planning the menu for a whole week with a
given budget. As far as I know, she stuck to the budget pretty well and even
had a bit leftover to buy fruit. So while they were out, I got to baby sit
Ashley (Alicia’s baby). Alicia got to go out with them as a reward for being
well-behaved. Hopefully this new reward system will be motivation for them to
be on their best behavior.
The girls got back a bit later than
anticipated so I had to postpone my sex class to the afternoon since I was also
on kitchen duty. I literally spent two hours in the kitchen, but I’m glad I got
to spend some time with Leslie (cook/nanny). I had been thinking all this time
that she didn’t really like me, but I guess she was just having a rough week,
She’s actually a lot of fun and I’m glad God equipped me enough to be able to
communicate with her.
After lunch I had my class with the
girls. We talked about God’s design for human sexuality and what that looks
like. I’m really thankful that I was able to use some of what I learned from a
class I took this past semester on Human Sexuality (Thank you Dr. Morris!) It’s
always a challenge getting them to stay focused and engaged, but I’m not going
to give up on them that easily.
“Now that you’ve arrived at your destination, serving in the
name of Jesus becomes more than a theory. But God will give you the power to
put into practice what you have learned.”
