Today that scary thing was getting pink eye. I know, I am brave! haha. I could use any spare prayers you have floating around so I can pull my weight again!
Well, I have not updated this thing in a while! I am definitely feeling at home here now. I love the children. I now am specializing with a group of special needs kids aged 3-5. And I love them. They are my babies!
A lot of my time here has been thinking about motherhood. Right now is really just the time to practice and experiment. Before I came, I was a pushover with children. They could walk all over me! Now though, I have learned to be kind and firm. The children respect me more for it. I´m having difficulty finding a balance now though. Where is the line between letting kids be kids and being a drill sargeant? One of my least favorite things to see is a child being told no to pretty much everything they do. If my childhood had been that way, I would have turned out a lot different!
In other news, conference was this weekend and I got to watch a few sessions when I was off! Hopefully I can catch up on the rest later today. I feel like the theme of conference was service. So many people talked about serving the poor! I have heard it repeated again and again to serve everyone around me, and that is what I will be focusing on more. The children definitely need love, and so do the volunteers! I hope to be there for my brothers and sisters in the work, because they are the best this world has got. :)
Watch conference here!
