I was super tired from my busy week and slept in until 9:00 this morning. Everyone in my host family was impressed by ability to sleep in so late. We talked about how tired I was and I assured them I felt a lot better now that I had gotten enough sleep. I was able to take some quite time for some much needed devos, but soon Melany came back into my room to “study” with me some more. I'm afraid that all of the books in the house will be thoroughly highlighted by the time I leave if that habit continues, but at least its a good way for her to stay entertained while I get my work done.
I spent my morning writing emails home because I've been feeling kind of disconnected lately, and it was nice to write to people about what I've been thinking and learning about lately. Around 4:00 I went to a baby shower with mami, and it was pretty fun. I had fun talking to some of the other people there and playing the games they had planned. The rest of my host family joined us after a couple of hours, and after the party we all walked home together.
Melany and I played hide and seek for a while and it was super fun. I think the break from playing games and reading children's books provided by the baby shower was a good refresher for me, and it made for a much more enjoyable evening. Mami also taught me how to make a dessert that we're going to eat tomorrow at the rosary meeting we're hosting. A simple evening at home turned into a lot of fun, and I'm so grateful for the patience of my hosts and God's clear and constant movement in my life.
