Friend: Amiga, Buddy, Chum, Comrade, Crony, Pal



"Friends fill your life with laugh, your soul with sunshine and your heart with love"
Kayla and Mary are "bestest friend" as they call each other. Mary is a really funny girl. She always makes Kayla, me and everybody else laugh. Dominique and Kayla loves to invite her to sleepovers. I'm so glad that her parents are the kind that let her come and have fun with my girls. She lives "back door" from our house. She is Kayla's classmate too. Well the other day in the morning both of them woke up with their faces like this. I was laughing so hard because they have been doing this for a while. They color each other faces while one of them fall asleep first. Mary taught this "funny trick" to Dominique one night when Kayla fall asleep first!...I thought it was so funny!
"Never shall I forget the days I spend with you. Continue to be my friend as you shall always find me yours". (Beethoven)

Activity Day













I got called to Activity Day, whatever the calling's name is. I've been there for a couple of months now and I love it!!!. Dominique wasn't too much into it so now that I'm there she likes to go, besides, Kayla used to complain 'cause she wanted to go but she couldn't because she is not 8 yet, she will turn 8 in July...so now she goes with us and she loves it more than anybody else!...She feels grown up hangin'out with all the 8 years old girls. All the girls in our group are really nice and all of them are my girls from my 8 years old class...that's my other calling , I'm the teacher of the 8 years old in Primary. Love it! love it! love it!. I have so much fun in Primary...I wouldn't change my calling for anything...actually they try to move me and I refused! ha. I've been in Primary for more than 7 years now. I feel so " at home" with the kids...I've learned so much form them specially how much they know about our Heavenly Father, but not because they read about Him but because they believe in Him without questioning. I have felt the spirit more with them than any other way or people with this calling than anyway before. I'm amazed with the way they express them self about our Heavenly Father and the way they trust in Him.
Here are some pictures of the Fashion Show with newspaper. The girls needed to make their own "modest designs" and then modeling. They had a blast! Last week I decided to do the "prayer mat" so we got pieces of carpet and then they paint on them the word "pray" or "prayer" so they will put it by their beds so they will remember to pray in the mornings and nights. They were really into it!...they came up with beautiful prayer mats!

Dominique's Class Field Trip









I always said to myself before a field trip :" I'm not gonna drive the bus with all those kids" but Mimi always come to me and "make" me change my mind...and then...there I go again...ending with a humongous migraine!. I can't understand WHY they have to yell and scream and got totally wild in a tiny bus, don't they see that I'm getting old? I had a great time anyways. We went to different places. The Bank so the kids will learn how and why to save. A Market, to see and learn about healthy food...and finally and the funnest part...Bowling!...I have to say, even that its hurts a little bit that Ivan won, Mimi was 2nd place and I got the 4th place. I had 6 kids in my group. They were great!. I love to help in Mimi's class. Her teacher is so nice and she always makes me feel like her friend. Did I say before what did she do the other day?...I think I didn't...I haven't say anything about the Mega Earthquake in Chile in my blog yet...but it was terrible!. well, Dominique's teacher, Mrs Clark wrote me a note right after, the earthquake was on a Saturday and on Monday I got the letter from her asking about my family and telling me that she has been praying for them since she heard the news...she was fasting for them that weekend. Its really touched me. So, I feel really bless for her as Mimi's teacher. Not just because the letter but because of what she did showed me what kind of a person she is, and I'm so glad that Mimi has such an great example on her as a person.
