Sorry for those who know what I mean by when I say howdy, but you'll just have to ask about that.
So this week is looking interesting. But first a recap of the stuff from last week. I've really come to grasp with the idea that these groups that come and go are my friends. It's only a week so it's not deep friendships, but still I will defend them, and love them as much as I can.
I had an incident at my park, but can't talk about it, for protection of a minor, but it's pretty crazy. I want to talk about it, but anyone who has worked with youth can understand that it's not a good idea to post something like that on your blog.
I liked seeing the kids last week grow. There were a few that I kinda latched onto, and made help more than others. Almost to the point of being unfair, but also to the point of growing them in a servant role. Some kids flourished and really grew, and other complained about all the extra work. Thanks for those of you who helped out more. I am sad I haven't kept up with some of the kids that I have left more. It's just been so busy, I haven't even kept up with some friends form back home. I love the kids, but miss my friends. it's a hard thing to do when you only get a little time on the internet, or with my phone. Skyping is always the recommended form of communication, or a phone call.
But this week is different. The kids with me at the park are really organized and great. I literally just watched them work as if I were a kid myself. THe walking is fun too. The people on the roads are recognizing me more now, and they stop and chat with me while I walk to get the kids. I love my job. But we taught the kids this week the blowdart game, and they love it. I'm having fun, and really enjoying getting to know them better. Looking forward to work the next day is a hug blessing God has granted me with this summer.
I look forward to my parents coming next weekend, I long to see a familiar face. So if anybody wants to come visit, I have a spare bedroom, and all the food you would want. I even have a week off starting Friday through the next Sunday...
