I look forward to Monday's because of the teens that come each monday night. I've been praying that I would build relationships with them and to really bond with them. Tonight was a great start. I know the last few weeks I think they were just trying to get to know us but we really got involved tonight. I talked to a lot of them so I'm excited about next week. Please pray that the relationships will continue to grow with them and that God would lead me in whatever way He pleases. Kid's club was interesting today. Last week we had a mission group from Longview, TX to come work with us serving our Heavenly Father but this week we don't have a group. There are a lot of kids and only six missionaries. Our love goes around though, we make sure of that! We are taking the kids on a field trip on Thursday to the children's museum so I'm super pumped about that! The kid's don't get a lot of outings so it's amazing to see all their smiles! The Bible stories in kid's club is going really well. I teach the english to the english-speaking and Joanna teaches the spanish kids. So we both teach everyday. The other groups switch days so one person teaches one day and the other the next. So on average a person teaches 2 lessons a week but I teach four lessons a week. Tomorrow is food pantry so please pray as everyone comes to get their food.
Over the weekend we were adopted by different families to spend the day away from the mission centers to have fun and relax. It's basically a day of being spoiled. haha. My family was the Taylors' and Mrs. Debbie took Megan and I to get manicures and pedicures first. They wrapped hands and feet in this wax stuff to make us all smooth and it was absolutely so relaxing! I loved it. But of course, I was walking out of the nail place and messed up my nails so they had to re-paint. Leave it to me to take the longest ;) After the nails, Mr. Rob and their son Coley picked us up to go to Kemah. Kemah is about 30 mins north of Galveston I think. In Kemah, they bought us wrist bands to ride all the rides. There was this rollercoaster that I went on with Coley twice and Megan once and 2 out of the three times the rollercoaster stopped on the way up. Then someone threw up. So we had lovely memories with the rollercoaster! I loved all the rides. They took us to this seafood restaurant which has the best seafood ever. I got lots of different kinds of shrimp! It was table 19 which was the best table in the house!!!!! It was right by the windows where we could see all the boats coming in :) I enjoyed the day so much! I was extremely blessed!
