Chapels 3 and 4 were done on a Thursday and . Wednesday because we had a day off on Friday September 9th for Dia de los Ninos, if I knew how to tilde I would. It is Children's Day, like Mother's Day or Father's Day but for all of the kids in Honduras, it is essentially a gigantic birthday party. There were games, soda, cake, pinatas, new outfits, fresh haircuts, and a bunch of sweaty, happy kids. They are so sweet. Allot of them do not get any attention at home, have broken families, or lack any christian examples at home, so we as teachers have the responsibility of stepping into their lives, discipling them, and being those examples that love and cherish them. We played games with them that involved some pretty cool looking collisions, everyone is fine, these kids are tougher than me, not saying much but still man, they don't go out easily. I may or may not have body slammed Mike and Ike over a piece of a pool noodle and still lost the game, not too proud of that one but we are all good, I said sorry and bought him a coke. Those kids loved it. I've only seen a couple of smiles ear to ear before I came here but these kids have that genuine emotion, whether it is happiness, anger, sadness, lazyness, etc. These kids are amazing, they deserve more than just this day.
