It is finally my day off today, and i felt like i should update you alittle more.
On Monday i went to San Diego . it was the daughter of a guy i have come to know through Kelly's birthday. So the fun began when she chose to go to " Andys fish bin " or something of the sort for her birthday lunch.
Most of you know that i am Terrified of fish. so i kept my mouth shut not to ruin her day, until Joan, the ex nun 62 year old lady who i love blurts out, OH NO BREE IS AFRAID OF FISH.
After a good laugh, we went to a place with chicken aswell. Who knew my fear was so funny ?
So then we went to this little village called " Old Town" and walked around, and it was beautiful, and so i brought out my camera, tried to turn it on, only to realise it wasn't working. The battery was charged, but the lens wouldnt stay open.
After the initial angry reaction, i've decided maybe God has called me to live simplier here, and i will have to wait to fix my camera when i get home.
Its been getting easier to adjust to things like beans twice a day, and has allowed me to be thankful for food each and every day.
Ive learned to stay away from people who cause conflict, and stay close to those who bring me closer to being like Jesus.
Ex's nuns tend to do that =) haha.
Its good to hear from home, when i get to pray for those at home, and stay connected, it helps me feel better being here.
I have fallen in love with a little girl named Emily. She is about 14 months and has curly black hair. She has beautiful blue eyes , and is the sweetest little girl.
Currently she has begun calling me mama, which no one can figure out why.
As of right now, no adoptions can take place, because these children still have parents. Their parents are on the streets, selling their body, doing drugs, drinking, and are the unfittest of the unfit to parent a child.
In order to adopt a child, you have to have every single last family member sign off on the child from mom to great aunt melba. Which is a difficult process.
Maybe its a sign from God, because he knows, that if i could adopt a child, i would bring alot more then knowledge home with me, and probably alot of babies.
Something i find fasinating though, is that you can sponsor children here, for 3o dollars a month. It was an eye opener to me, because i have gotten to know all of these kids, so it would be alot more personal. And another sweet thing, is that " Ninos de la promesa, or children of promise " is a volunteer based organisation , therefore all of the money and profits sent in to your child, go straight to the things your child needs.
If anyone is interested there are lots of kids who need sponsors, or even little items like shoes and clothes that fit.
All in All, im doing alright.
As Christmas nears, kids are getting excited for school breaks and little parties, which is exciting for me to see .
My spanish is becoming really good, and its exciting to talk to the kids in spanish more and more.
Thanks for the prayers and support.

So far , im still alive =)

Bree.
