HAPPY LAST FULL DAY AND THURSDAY!! After waking up and doing morning chores, we sat in group circle and watched a film on Migrant's and what a typical day looks like for a working kid. It was very eye opening to see what kids 16 and under go through to provide for themselves and their family. The kids handle this situation in a very mature way, sacrificing many things for themselves to help their family out. After the film as a small group we prayed the Diversity Rosary. It was peaceful and something I never usually do so it was amazing praying for those in need. Then we went to daily mass at a beautiful church. It was very fast but so great to be there with God and be in peace. Another shower! YAY! After mass we went to a swimming center and got to swim and shower for 2 hours. It was fun to be able to relax and be with everyone. The best part of the day was after the showers... going to Sunrise to be with the kids. Every time I am with them it is beautiful. They are all such amazing people. They have the biggest hearts and can brighten the mood of anyone there. Being with them for multiple days you can see Christ through them and how amazing life is for them even if it is a daily struggle. This brought to mind how thankful I am for the life I have and to count your blessings everyday. We take life and the things we have in it for granted everyday without even recognizing it. It was such a blessing to suffer this week to understand the struggles many people around the world go through. Those kids will forever hold a special place in my heart and I will never forget the mark they left on me.
