Today was a gift from God, it started with an early morning and a good serving of rice and beans along with many other kinds of sweet goodies from our buffet bar! Then we got on our bus with our leader and we went to our sunday service, we sang in spanish and I was a little lost but the feeling of happiness and how excited they where with our arrival was beyond words on how it made me feel! After that me and Lauren and some other seniors went to Sunday school with the kiddos and I was being very friendly and goofy and loving to all the kids and was trying to make friends with the quiet nervous kids. Once that finished we played with the kids for hours and it was the most fun I've had in maybe my whole life! It was also one of the most heart filling and God given days I've ever had! We played soccer and sharks and minnows and sang and did a play and had chalk and we had all kinds of fun!! The kids look to us as super heros and they love us! I had such an amazing day! I bonded with all the kids and met many amazing and once you got to know them PRETTY AWESOME KIDDOS!! then we went shopping and ate and had devotions back at the hotel! Overall it was a day of God from God! These days and moments will change and shape who I am forever! I'm so grateful for everything! Today was perfect!
