Time for a Little Break

July 18

      This morning was a little emotional for all the girls. During the healing class they were being pretty disrespectful to Jen. That kind of upset her because it’s challenging enough for her having to teach the class and talk about her personal experiences with the matter. She got a little overwhelmed and had a break down. Gracie came by and saw that Jen was crying, so she intervened and had a good talk with all of them. I wasn’t exactly there when all of this happened, but from what I heard, it ended well. All the girls were in tears, but mostly because they were touched by what was said I guess.

      I had a little episode with Alicia as well prior to that. When their class had started, she asked me if I could change Ashly’s diaper. I agreed and when I was finished I had to walk back under the rain (more like a little shower). Apparently that upset Alicia, so instead of saying thank you, I got a complaint. Once again, the girls still have a lot to learn about being grateful. That kind of put me in a bad mood. I guess Gracie sensed that we were all a bit drained, so she gave us the rest of the day off. After cooking Adobo for the group for lunch, I helped Evelin make everyone some fried bananas with cabbage and salsa, and then we went to the dispensa to get some snacks. Gracie allowed us to seclude ourselves in the classroom away from everyone to relax and watch a few movies. We ended up watching two. It was 10 o’clock by the time we were ready to head to bed…and by then everyone else was already in bed. It was a good time of unwinding and I’m really really glad the three of us (Jen, Evelin, and I) get along well. I’ve been so blessed to have such great companions and it’s been an honor serving side by side with them. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. God’s been taking good care of us and growing us closer and closer to His heart every day.
