Muy Bonita

Tonight we went to a nice resteraunt as a treat on our day off. It was really good food and there was a Mariachi band. They came over to our table and played La Bamba and then proceeded to get us all up to dance one by one. It was fun. But that stuff makes me so embarassed, I can't dance!
Before the main course bread and chips and guacamole was brought out. It was so good! Sarah and I accidently filled up on that before our food was brought out. At the end of the meal we still had so much left on our plates. We didn't know what to do. We were wishing we could send it to Africa or something. We don't really have a good way to store food here, only one small fridge in our instructor's room. We didn't want the food to go to waste so we boxed it up anyway. We had to wait outside for our van to pick us up and while we were waiting I saw a little girl across the street going potty on the sidewalk. I then saw her little sister who was probably about 2, she being only about 4. I saw that they were begging the passerbyers on the street for money. We were out there for awhile so I kept watching to see if there was a parent near by but i didn't see any. Carrie said that sometimes the parent is close by but other times it's possible that they dropped them off and then would come back later. The girls were so cute, just hugging eachother and playing as they begged. I was praying for them and then just realized that I had the leftover food in my hand. Two boxes full and a bottle of water. I asked Carrie if she thinks that they would want the food, she said they probably would. So me and two of the other girls crossed the street and asked them if they wanted it "Quieres Comida"? They were so stinking beautiful. Big brown eyes and such pretty smiles. They smiled and the older girl said a little "si" and took the bag that was almost too big for her to carry. Our van pulled up right then and we ran to get in (traffic doesn't stop here for anything, the second it starts to slow people lean on their horns) I watched from the van as the girls ran into the subway station and brought the food to a group of people sitting on the floor, look liked maybe a mom and more kids, i was just glad they weren't alone. I was just so, so greatful to the Lord that He gave me the opportunity to give to those kids. Man I just felt so humble and greatful. Those girls, they were just beautiful, I just wanted to do more you know, to be able to say more. But God knows them, He loves them.
And then on the way home we got a "scenic tour", we were a little lost. There are so many prostitutes. They are just lined up along the buildings, every 5 feet or so. It's so sad. They just don't know their value. We see them every night as we drive home from the clinic but the ones that we passed tonight were extra scandalas, i guess you could say. Such a great need, how do you meet such great need?
