Club Christmas Drama

I put a few pictures of our Club Christmas Drama on my blog for kids. You can go to www.fieldtriptomexico.blogspot.com if you want to see them.

Lalo y Saul

Lalo and Saul are two brothers on my Thursday afternoon Club route for pick-up and take-home. Lalo is 6 and is also in my Club class, and Saul is 4. The best way I know to describe them is as "such a mess," but they have a very special place in my heart. They are both mischievous and always ones you have to keep a close eye on, but they are also so endearing and adorable. I think one reason that I love them so much is that they remind me of my brother when he was little, both physically and personality wise. :)

Things That Made Me Smile This Week...

• Elizabeth's breaded and seasoned chicken (and salad!)
• The electric radiator/heater in my room that makes it warm and comfortable
• Remembering Jesus' heart for children and what the CFCI vision is during team meeting this week
• Christy's yummy turkey soup
• Chicles climbing up to a high part of the church and using a spotlight to bring Gabriel's announcement to Mary more to life for the Club kids
• Jazmin coming back to Club after a 3 month absence! Yay for answered prayers!
• Karen's homemade sock/rice heater that she made for me
• Singing Christmas songs in Spanish
• The way some of the kids on my Thursday afternoon route really make me laugh
• Listening to Erik's Vision 2010 sermons and being so encouraged and inspired by how God is continuing to lead Four Oaks (my church in Tallahassee)
• Watching the Four Oaks "Rodney videos" online :)
• Practicing for the Club Christmas Drama this morning and seeing how excited the kids are about it
• When I turned on the CD in the van tonight on my way home and it was one of my very favorite songs ("When You Come Back Down" by Nickel Creek)
