The NPH life 4 months

26 de Octubre 2016: hey all! It's been awhile since I've posted. As of the last month or two, my Spanish has improved and I for sure understand a lot more Spanish than I did 2 months ago. Currently have been living in Mexico for 4 months and it has been a journey.
I am an encargada for girls ages 12-19 but in retro spec my girls as I call them, are in junior high and most will be graduating to high school in July.
Two of my girls left the home to go back with their families and my heart broke but I pray that they are ok and happy.
Living in a different country has been amazing, eye opening , and over all a challenge. I have learned to have patience with everything and everyone. Currently on a spiritual journey to find myself in a world of waking up early, walking my girls to school, being tired a lot of the time because of the weather and how busy we keep, sitting and watching my girls do their chores and make sure they get them done. The most tiring thing is just " checking off " names as each person, drinks water and showers after activities because all I do is sit or stand and wait... I am learning how to enjoy the moments of waiting and soak up as much relaxation as possible. Every day is the same bit different. We have similar routine but with working with teenagers you never know what side of the bed they will wake up on. I love my girls all 94 to be exact. Plus all of the other kids that have made NPH their home.  My group and I have seen a lot of new places on our weekends off. Mexico City, Valle de Bravo, Taxco, Las Estacas and many more. My next journey , is home to visit in 2 months! I'm excited:) until next time!
