Tuesday/Wednesday

Tuesday:
We spent the day at The Promise House. We found out that the girls have to be out of the house by Thursday because that's when the rent ends. This kind of ruined our plans for the week because we were planning on taking the girls to ice cream on Thursday since it would be our last full day with them.. So, instead, we took them to ice cream today. But that will come in Wednesday's story... We bought the girls each presents (nail polish, hair clips, Bibles, nail polish remover) and the kids presents (play do for Glenda, a teething ring for Daniel, and blocks for Fabi, along with little things for each) and we made no bake cookies. It was fun... Early in the morning (when the kids were at day care) we were making a poster for the house. Katie and I picked out two verses for them to read and told them to choose their favorite. When we said that, Taty turned (in her new Bible) to Psalm 27 and read the part that says "Although my father and mother forsake me, God will receive me". Which almost made me cry considering her situation, and the fact that she knows the verse... Needless to say, that's the verse that went on the poster.

Wednesday:

We made no bake cookies at CIPI, which was fun. The kids lovedddd eat the straight cocoa and sugar. But they also loved the cookies. They were gone within 10 minutes... Then (after a lot of work) we finally got to take the Promise House girls to Jungle Snow (an ice cream place). It was really nice to get to spend time with them, especially since tomorrow is most of their last days. In the car on the way home Glenda pronounced us sisters, so I guess she can no longer call me gringa like she likes to.
