Too Much Fun

Okay, okay. Favorite moment of the day: my friends and I were in our Spanish class and the teacher asked, "¿Cuando vamos al mercado?" ("When do you go to the market?"), to which my friend replied "¡El huevos!" - which was hilarious to me because she just told him "Eggs!" instead of "Thursday!" Oh man. :)

Every day I work with the kids, I feel the Spirit. It is the best feeling. It reminds me of when I went to the Oquirrh Mountain open house; the Spirit was so sweet there. And it is the exact same here. It comes in little waves, and I love it!

Best shift ever yesterday! I was working with the babies again (my favorites). There is one little stinkpot who says "No!" every time he sees me. So I decided that every time he did I would respond with "Te amo!" and a hug and a kiss. It was a beautiful thing. :) My reward: when I was leaving shift, I asked him for a hug when he was in his crib, and he ran and hugged me through the bars! That made my entire day. :)

This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. ~George Bernard Shaw
