What a crazy 2 weeks! We left seattle on March 28th and flew down to Los Angeles. After visiting our friend Matt Wachter till Sunday, we drove down to San Diego to meet up with the crew. We were supposed to show a group from Wenatchee how to get to the mission, but there bus broke down, so stayed the night at Darrell and Mareens for the night(the couple who run the mission). We arrived in Mexico on March 31st and had no trouble arriving at the Mission. We let the group settle in and then drove the mile and a half to the orphange. Sarah and I have our own room that looks out the back yard. We are on top of a mini-mountain and its so beautiful! There has been alot of rain this winter so its very very green. Urapan(The town were staying in) is small and surrounded by mountains.
The first couple days we just got on schedule with the time and mexico's lax-ness in general. We've been to the beach once with the other kids staying at the mission along with our kids. It was just me and sarah watching all 16 kids...just a taste of more to come. We thought we lost a couple kids but the other americans just took them without asking us...that was really cute of them! My spanish is slowly improving as a I remember things slowly. Sarah is just outta this world at speaking Spanish...She translates alot to me but the things is that its usually in spanglish so i have to re-translate it. Were making a movie now about the orphange and the kids are really getting into it. Alot of its just sillyness at its best, but so far its hilarious.
We go to sleep at 7:30 to 9ish, and wake up at 6:30ish. Its weird going to sleep so early, but were so exhausted by the end of the day anyways...its hard enough everyone except sarah speaking Spanish, but kid Spanish is hard to understand to, espeically when they have lisps(the youngins...( ; ) We have amazing house parents, Angela and Danny. They are both hilarious, and i have known Angela from coming down here before. I took my lip ring and nose ring out...and it was a good thing. We have been running or playing soccer everyday, or football with the kids. Sarah plays more with the girls and i play more sports with the boys, but sarah played soccer yesterday and we got rowdy.
The other night we were going to a "SURPRISE" trip. It ended up being in Ensenada, and we pulled up at a circus tent. The thing with me is that i really hate circus'...but i guess it was this akward on-ice show with random songs from movies acted out...this one part had these two clowns that just ATE IT off stage by accident...funnnyy. Then i took Viki and Maria to the outhouses and this crazy lady kept trying to open the door on Maria..i tried to to tell her, but she was just to loca. Maria was almost in tears when she came out...Then we forgot Friolito(little bean, the littlest one who is around 2) in the car sleeping. good times. well sarah or i will write later...until then!
