sobre el puente and casa hogar

Hola amigos!
This is Samone updating. Hope you all are doing well. This is my first update since arriving a week and a half ago. its been a flurry of spanish and reconnections since arriving and it has been wonderful and sometimes an emotionally overwhelming experience. Therefore it has been good to be here with the kids and the other interns as well.
sorry its been a while. I am going to update you all on this past week! so this past week, Rebecca, Abril and I (Samone) went to Sobre el puente. For those of you who don´t know, this is the street child ministry. It was strange yet a blessing being back. Many of children I knew from last year are no longer there (each for different reasons). Some of them are off the new and better places. These are things we need to pray for the children, that they would continue on these paths God has set for them, and that they would continue to grow in the lord and strive to live for him. And this is something we all need to pray for. Its so encouraging to see how they started off going to sobre el puente, and now many of them have jobs and are studying and acquiring the skills they need to provide for themselves, and to live better lives. It was encouraging to see some of the kids from last year and how great, and healthy they look and how much they are improving. Proving to me once again how God is at work and he really is answering prayers for these kids. So this past week has been wonderful. We arrive by bus everyday at 9 30 in the morning. from then we do a craft and the have breakfast with the kids. Then its time for singing and praising God with drums, a tambourine and our voices. there are mostly new kids there this year and praise God three of them have such a desire for improvement they are living in the building where we minister. Together we all eat, talk, worship, pray and are just in constant fellowship together. it was hard at first getting to know the kids, espceially for me and my lack of spanish, but God has really helped me by giving me patience this week. Sorry this post was kind of short. I dont get on the computer much! But I will be back with an update shortly on our time with the team! adios
