For the past 2 1/2 weeks our street where we moved into was pretty quiet. We were concerned because we didn't see many kids around. Actually we saw none.
Then the miracle happened. Yesterday about 2 pm I looked out our window and I saw about 7 kids all playing and hanging out. Immediately we all ran out side and introduced ourselves. We met Frank (9), Ana Laura (about 11) and Isabela (2). They live in Periban 2 and Frank and Ana Laura both speak Spanish and English. Then we met two other little ones, probably around 3 and 1 1/2 years old. Then we met Sophia who is 12. She also is bilingual. Today the boys even went by themselves over to Frank's house, rang his doorbell, and asked him to play. 2 1/2 hours later I had to go down there and ask them to come home. Praise the Lord.
This morning Benjamin shared with Christine that he is happy now in Mexico because he has friends. Jonathan, who turns 8 this Saturday is already planning inviting these kids to his birthday party.
We're so thankful for our home, the location and the neighbors. We can't wait to have you as a visitor. Now we're just waiting for raining season to end. It rains about 2 hours a day.
