I didn’t do a good job of keeping with my blog the last week sorry I’ve been none stop all the time. Last Monday we had class in the morning, which was nice. I had a two page paper due and a 10 min presentation on the dictators of Nicaragua. It was a bunch. The only thing that was bad is that my teacher crazy and gave us all this work the other class just and the paper, but I guess it was good for me. I needed the extra practice.
We went to La Paz waterfalls. It was a resort and they also had birds, humming birds, butterflies, big cats like jaguars, snakes, I got to ride an ox cart, and I saw three waterfalls they were gorgeous!

We went back to San Jose after class for some last minute shopping I bought some really cute stuff!! :D
Thursday we went to Volcano Poas, but the clouds were so thick we couldn’t see anything. We had class in the afternoon. And that night my mama tica made me and Sam my roommate the other professor that had been staying with us for the past two weeks and my mama tica’s daughter and the two girls in our group that were staying with us Katie and Roxie, lasagna. It was so good it was our going away party because Mark (the professor) wasn’t going to be there Friday night.

Friday morning around 4 in the morning a pipe broke and my room and a couple others flooded. Thankfully the people here never keep anything on the floor just in case water is on the floor and the houses are always tile. But they didn’t tell me and Sam that, but they only things that got wet weren't a big deal all electronics and stuff were safe. So for the first time in my life I swept out water of a house lol!
That morning we had our final presentations and graduation. Then a few of us headed to the pool until it was cloudy and time for the usual afternoon showers. It’s the rainy season so it rains about 2-4 every day. Sometimes earlier sometimes later sometimes all day you get the picture.
Friday night we packed and the power went out for about three hours so we colored took a nap with the rain hitting the tin roof, and when my papa tico came home we ordered pizza. And we had pizza by candle light. Then shortly after that the power was back on.

Saturday we said our goodbyes and we headed to the airport. My parents were supposed to get here Friday night but they missed their flight. So they were scheduled to get there around 11:15 no big deal I could wait two hours. Well their flight got delayed so finally after 7 hours of waiting in the airport I finally got to see them. I showed them around and we ate at my mama tica's resturant, and they got to see my papa tico's jewelry store. Then my parents dropped me off at the orphanage. I unpacked and it was time for bed.

Sunday I got up and took a shower helped bathe the kiddos and cleaned a little before going with the director and her family the other volunteers and the set of twins in my house to church. After church my parents came back and we had orientation. And I found out that my days off are Monday and Tuesday. So since my parents were here until early this morning I got to leave around 3 and travel and be with them. Which praise the Lord was an awesome blessing it was perfect timing and just what I needed to finish out this last month strong.
Today I don’t work until three so I’ve been trying to get all my photos up on facebook and catch up on my blog.
As I’m sitting here listening to some of the children cry and scream because they don’t want to take a nap, I’m reminded that all these children come from different backgrounds, and they’ve gone through more that I'll ever know. So whether they have suffered physical or emotional abuse or are suffering from depression and abandonment. Sometimes we don’t give kids enough credit and think that they are just kids, but kids feel pain and hurt just like adults and even if a kid is brought here from the hospital they still experience and have abandonment issues.
Please pray for these sweet adorable children I can only remember a few of their names since I haven’t spend much time with them, but I have 10 kiddos in my house 8 boys two are twins and 2 girls.
