The first days advanture in Costa Rica

The first night that I got here I saw my first cockroach I asked Justine if it was a beetle but she said no it's a cockroach. The next day first thing in the morning I woke up because I thought that I had  heard Justine screaming but later I figured out that it was a rooster. The rest of the day was spent at the church. The head staff member Matt who over sees the Potters Field Kids program with his wife Broke, had introduced me to the kids. I'm trying to learn more Spanish so I can better comunicate with the people here especically the kids. When I attempt to speak Spanish it dosen't always go well but they are patient in teaching me. I have had some funny instances so far. One of the boys had his hand raised because Victor one of the staff members had asked him a question, and he said, "Yo" so I replied "Yo!" to him because I thought that he was saying yo as in, yo what's up. Michaela just laughed at me and said what he was saying me. At dinner time I pointed to one of the boys cups and said "Bebe" which in spanish means drink but I guess here they don't call a drink that. I knew this because the boy looked at me and laughed to his friend he probably thought that I was crazy or as they would say it loco. During the kids program I was walking around observing every thing that was going on. And helping out Justine, and Victor a little bit in the kitchen, but mostly watched to see how things are done. I got to do the hokey pokey with the kids it was so much fun. Matt was teaching it to them in English. They seemed to enjoy it, I know I did. It just brought me so much joy just to see all there smiling faces, you could tell from that how excited they were. So that was my first day I'm so glad to be here I can't wait to spend more time with the kids. And to get to know the staff members here better.
