Wrestling at 5am. Haha.

The title was a shout out to my friend Armando, poor guy got woken up at 5am by the teenage boys on the team. They were wrestling and kept hittin his door. Gotta love time differences. Haha.

Anyways today was a wonderful day. I got to go back to all the houses I visited yesterday and give away clothes and toys and such. It was such a blessing to watch them, their faces just lighting up with joy and confusion everytime you handed them something.

That's one of the things I love so much about being here, for days exactly like this. They have no comprehension of love, of selfless giving, of gifts. They don't even have a word for love in their native language. So on days like today we really do get to be the hands and feet of Jesus, we get to show them a love they have no way of grasping. And that ladies and gentlemen is the reason I come back, the reason I sacrifice time, money, and comfort to be here. Somebody has to be a light of hope to these kids and I'm honored to know, that even for a day or even for a minute, that light could be me.

So as our day of giving winded down we returned to Monte Flor and gathered to head to Xepocol, my favorite feeding program. Which, as always, was amazing. It's the oldest, the poorest, the smallest and in my opinion, the most neglected (by teams and such). The kids are amazing, sure you have to work a little harder to get em out of their shell but it is soooo worth it. They just shower you with love and affection, what more can you ask for.

So I came home to BBQ and fun fellowship with friends. I was a relaxing evening. Not to mention I wrapped it up with a fun skype date with my family and grandmother. So now I'm layin in bed, listenin to itunes and talkin to Matt. I'm excited for church tomorrow and market too. I'm ready to spend some Q's!

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."  ~Erma Bombeck
