These are some of the compliments or funny comments that I have been said to me while working at our ministry site this month. I’m not always sure how to take them, but I think they all come from a place of love. Deep down…
1. Manuel on the first day of being at Mision Adulam: I love you.
2. Pedro: I like your shoes. How much did they cost?
3. Israel: You have a nice camera. How much did it cost?
4. Brandon: I like Melissa’s phone. Do you have a phone too? How much did it cost?
5. Brandon: If you were my girlfriend I would tattoo your name on my arm in big letters.
6. Javier: You understand Spanish very well. Me: What?
7. George: You look like a different person in your hat, I didn’t even recognize you. I like it.
8. A staff member at the house: If you like Bolivia so much you should move here. You could find a Bolivian boyfriend and then you’d never have to leave. Benjamin (the German intern) met his girlfriend here and he’s doing fine.
9. Brandon: Can you guys buy us a play station? Us: No, we don’t have that kind of money. Brandon: *points to the youngest guy* But it’s for the children!
I love these guys and I already miss their hilarious comments a ton. It's been so awesome to get to meet them and hang out for a few weeks. Next month has a lot to live up to. My team has the amazing opportunity to do an "Ask the Lord" month where we don't have a contact or anything, we find new contacts for out Unsung Hero's program and find contacts for future Racers.
