The Usual

So things have returned back to normal, or as normal as things ever are here! We have received 3 new children. A 12 year old girl named Raquel (Rachel) and two little boys, Obed (5) and Sergio (8). They are still adjusting to the schedule and discipline here. Obed justs wants someone to hold him.

We have a new American girl here. Her name is Callan and she is from Dean's church in New Orleans. She is very sweet, but a little timid. She spent her 19th birthday being dragged all around Juarez with me in the rain! We had to go buy the groceries at Sams. It took 4 carts loaded to the brims. Just think, in two weeks it will all be gone and I will be heading back there again. It had not been raining when we entered the store, but the minute we stepped outside it started to pour. Needless to say loading the groceries was quite an adventure!

It has been raining for 2 days straight here in Guadalupe and the roads are a mess. I am trying to teach Joseylin to drive, so this has been an adventure for her. These are the times when a lot of people crash into the Ranch because they try to go mudding and lose control.

Anyway I guess I'll get back to work now! :)
