A good vacation with my family

The time I had with my family was so good! I took them to the best beach and introduced them to all the good food. I was so glad that they were able to see where I am and meet some of my friends here. And I'm glad that the kids got to meet them too! They were all counting down the days with me because they were excited to meet them. And I was so glad that Myrtille let me have the week off from work to be with them!

The last night that they were here, we were invited by one of the church elders of Jesus de Nazareth to their house for coffee and cake. He wanted to thank my parents for letting me come and help at Casa Hogar and to open up his house to us. He and his wife and family live in Las Brisas, a very beautiful part of town that overlooks the whole Acapulco Bay. He made it pretty clear that his house is our house and Emily and I are welcome to come over every weekend (and believe me, we will NOT pass up the opportunity).

One thing that happened while I was with the family is that, something happened with Casa Hogar's budget and they ran out of money for food. So ever since, they have only been able to afford for the kids to have a normal sized lunch, but breakfast and dinner have been bread and chocolate milk.
