Acceptance

I'm on a blogging roll right now - but am sat in an amazing cafe with free wireless internet, is comfy, good music and smells amazing! So am sat thinking and writing!

After an amazing week and fantastic weekend I've been contemplating my life here. Last night our youth group had a prayer meeting, 19 of turned up. 18 of my friends and me. Was so much fun. After that I went back to Lorena's house and sat outside with her and Jaime. They really are my family, like a brother and sister to me. They were singing to me their favourite olden ranchero songs etc, old Honduran songs. We told jokes and sang til late into the night. (jokes in Spanish are a bit tricky to understand but I got most of them!) I am so grateful for that family, I love them all so much. It has been in the last 2 weeks that everything has changed - for the better. I have never felt so accepted by everyone or so much a part of things. I think everyone has now seen that I'm here for good, I'm not leaving and they have changed towards me and I am truly accepted. In church a lot of the families and older people are talking more to me and including me. Many of them now looking for a husband for me and praying for one! Yay! Haha. I feel truly loved by everyone. I can't explain how things have changed really, but they have, I am a part of life here. Last night they were planning meeting up to watch a football match, eat dinner together, play games etc. When I asked when and where they had planned it in my house! Everyone is relaxed enough to include me and know I will always have people round. It's like I have always been here. Is just different to life a month ago. I LOVE it!
