Today was my first day back in Mexico and I am very glad to be back. God delayed me for two days, but He allowed me to be here for four days. God is very wonderful and he has showed that in the delay and by the trip so far. Today I arrived at about eleven this morning after leaving home at four thirty. When I got here we started helping the kids with their homework so that they would be ready for school tomorrow. That was interesting trying to help Spanish kids with their grammar when I probably understand less than they do. Then we ate a very good lunch of Mexican meatball soup with pineapple juice. After lunch we did a couple of puzzles with the kids, which was rather interesting because the kids have very short attention spans. Then they took a nap for an hour and thirty minutes during which time we got ready for school tomorrow and finished putting the Christmas decorations away. At about four the kids got up and played random games until diner; about an hour before me and my Canadian friend went on top of the roof of the orphanage and took pictures of the sunset. It was a lot of fun. For diner we had gorditas with beans, it was very good. After dinner we played a few different games with the kids and got purified water for cooking and drinking and just did random things. The kids went to bed around nine but the helpers stayed up for a while playing hearts, drinking coffee and laughing a lot!!
