A wonderful day!

Today I got to meet people from the church!  At La Vina there is a bible study for adults and Sunday-school-like-thing for kids.  I helped with the little kids. It was chaos! There were at least 25 of them, ages 1-6 and there were two adults which includes me, who can't speak Spanish fluently. Everyone was running all around the small blue room, cutting pieces of paper and yelling while drawing outside the lines of the coloring sheet. All the kids, especially the little girls, were very excited to talk to me and thought it was very funny that I didn't understand some of what they were saying. At one point we went outside and I gave a boy named Luis a helicopter ride.  Immediately all 25 children ran at me wanting a turn. It was an incredible moment to be standing there surrounded by happy Mexican children.  They all seemed so happy and they were climbing on me as if they had know me for years. That moment made me feel so happy to be here and to be able to serve these people.  People are truly amazing and I'm so excited to get to know and hopefully help these people here in Mexico.  After the adult bible study was done some older girls came out and talked to me.  I actually understood a lot of what they were saying and I was able to, slowly but surely, have a conversation about something other than 'Hello how are you what's your name'.
