Week 5: ALMOST over!

It's hard to believe that week 5 is already almost OVER! That means just one more week and the summer internship is done, then Southern Cali, and finally home! 
So Friday is Raging Waters. I'm probably more excited than the kids to go, but my only fear is that it will be cold and windy. Pray for hot weather! I got plenty of sun here but it's still so chill! Alright moving on to some more important stuff to talk about....

Today I went to my second house visit. What a blessing it is to have these families open their homes and allow me to meet and talk to them (they also feed me sometimes :D). Some families don't know English very well so it's always  a blessing to see that they are still open to inviting us into their home. Well, I got to visit one of my language arts girl's home. She has a big family and lots of siblings. 8 including her self and 7 of the siblings are girls. Kind of reminded me of my own family :p. It was great getting to meet her family. I think when you meet the family it helps explain a lot more about the child or it can just confuse you. Hahaha... Anyways truly it was a blessing meeting her family. I am still amazed that God can use me to touch the lives of these children. I am sinful and selfish, but God, He is SO good and faithful. This week has been rough (I don't know if it's because the program is almost over and the kids are just excited or I have been doing a really bad job at class room management since day 1. Maybe both Hahahaha), but God has been faithful and today's visit was just another reminder of how blessed I am to be here. I love it here in EPA. I love working with these kids. I love my co-workers and the BCM staff. I love what God is doing in EPA and in my life. I love this summer (despite how much I miss my family and friends)....
I'm gonna miss everything and everyone. I'm really gonna miss these kids (despite how much they drive me crazy at times! :p)
