A Month in the Life

Sunday was very long and tiring! Thankfully, all the bus kids were angels--this is a very rare occurrence! To be honest, though, it's a little boring when they're all good, but at the same time it shows an amazing amount of progress with these kids. We've come a long way in the last year or so. I think I notice it most in the conversations we have. "Tiff Jr.", as I will call her, is seven years old and has probably developed the most. She is one of them that lives with her grandpa. In a recent conversation, I asked her if she is able to visit her mom very often. She replied, "Usually yes, but she told us a bunch of lies, so we're not able to go see her right now. God cried tears because she lied to us." "Tiff Jr." won us all over when she asked for a Bible for Christmas; my reply, "I think that's one thing we can guarantee you will get." She's asked us to pray for her and her two brothers ("Sam Jr." and "Jordan Jr."--two of our menaces that you can't help but love and adore) and to teach them how to pray. She soaks up everything you have to say.

I also had an interesting conversation with the little boy I've been baby-sitting. He is 6 and their family is Catholic. He was going on about how bad his 5 year old brother is because he doesn't want to go to church. So I asked him why he likes to go to church. His reply, "Because I get more time to play legos if I go to church!"
