Thankful Thursday

I´m thankful for...

• the opportunity to be volunteering here at Casa de Amor
• all of our kids... the little ones and the big ones!
• all of the tias... they work so hard and love the kids so very much (and they do a pretty good job of taking care of us, too!)
• my fellow CDA volunteers, Carlee and Danyelle (and Madison, a friend from church who also volunteers at CDA once a week!)... it´s hard to imagine being here and working with anyone else. I´m so thankful for the support and friendship I have in them!
• the ability to speak Spanish
• Tia Silvia´s cooking... I never have to go hungry or make myself a meal
• being able to go to the internet cafe even when I don´t have internet at home
• my health here in Bolivia
• the freedom I have to take kids out and about with me around Cochabamba
• kids who are finally feeling better
• daily emails from my mom
• the constant kisses I get from Mindy
• my church here in Cochabamba and how they haven´t yet kicked me out for bringing such loud, wild children with me every week
• frequent messages from friends back home
• great weather
• sleepovers with the girls
• the Booher family and all of the help they give not just me, but the other volunteers as well
• the ways the girls try to watch out for and help Jhosie
• a good night´s sleep last night
• late night talks with the tias
• yummy breakfasts every morning
• my Spanish classes
• all of you who read my blog :)
