kids from kid's club

Eliana-Eliana is so precious. I taught her in my Bible story group. She's such a story teller. We would be on the playground and everyday she would have a new story that she would be so fascinated about. When it came to our Bible study time she would know the answer to every question I asked about God. We taught the kids about prayer this summer and at the end of class Eliana always wanted to pray. By the end of the summer all the kids wanted to pray :) To hear a 5 year old pray is a sound that would never get old!
Destiny- She told Mrs. Dora one morning that her tummy hurt because she didn't eat anything all day. She came with her grandmother to get food from the food pantry. Her grandmother had been washing her hair wish dish soap. One of the hardest things for me this summer was the food. I would eat amazing meals where we would have so many leftovers but the families I would work with are trying to just get through each day. I worked with forty some kids and you have to ask yourself how many of them are hungry.
Tito- He came towards the end of the summer and I was teaching on when we could pray to God. Anytime. Day or night. To explain day time I put my hands around my face and said sunshine. It reminded me of the smiley sunshines kids see. The cutest thing was when I said "sunshine" Tito said sunshine back with his little hands wiggling his fingers beside his face. I showed everybody in the gym what he was doing because it was so precious. He's precious. He was one of the few kids that didn't know spanish.
Jollette- Everyday she would find me to give me a hug. It didn't matter if I was on the other side of the property, she would find me. The last week she gave me something everyday. One day was a pack of gum. Another day was a mexican candy that they make. The cutest thing was letters that she handed me one day. To me it looked like a four year old scribbled on pieces of paper. Her mom said when she was working on the letters she kept saying "i love you" over and over. I love little Jollette and I'll never forget her smile everyday!

There are so many kids that I worked with in Houston that will always have a special place in my heart. Each and every one of them taught me something new, made me laugh, and let me be a kid Monday through Thursday from 3-5.
