Post from Jeremiah

Yo, this is Jeremiah from McBIC, and I´m in Reynosa, Mexico. A lot of things have surprised me here.

First of all, the Josiah and Bethany Children´s Home is HUGE!! I didn´t know that this place would be THAT big! It has four floors, a playground, and it has lots and lots of space to run around in!

Second, the sewage system confuses me a little bit. You can´t put toilet paper into the toilet for some reason. If you put some into the toilet, then flush it, lots of things could happen. The toilet will overflow, the entire water system will shut down, it´ll cost thousands of dollars to repair...you get the idea. Instead, you have to put the toilet paper into a trash can.

Third, they actually have some dogs! There are three Labrador retriever puppies, and one Golden retriever named Cowa. Cowa´s kinda on the lazy side. She´s so lazy, sometimes I think she´s dead! But Oreo´s my favorite. Oreo is among the puppy clan. He has a white stripe down his neck, and I think that stripe is why they named him Oreo.

Fourth, soccer galore! Yikes! They play it so much, sometimes I think they´re addicted to it!! The older ones are really good at it. There´s this one guy named Jorge who plays it a lot. By the way he plays soccer, you´d think he´s better than Ronoldinho! But we´ll see about that.

Fifth, the FOOD!!! I LOVE it!! Down here in Mexico, I´m going BALLISTIC!!!!! They make awesome food! For breakfast, they have donuts, cinnamon rolls, and strawberry yogurt with bananas and other fruits inside! For lunch, they have pasta, soup, and apple cider. For dinner, they have tacos, french toast, and fijitas.

Finally, I made some new friends. There´s one guy named Oscar, and he plays the drums, just like I do! Then, I already mentioned Jorgé. Like I mentioned earlier, he´s really good at soccer. And then there´s José. He´s very hyper! And then Carlos. He has some birth defects, but he still a cool guy.

Boy, are my fingers tired of typing all this! I think I pretty much summed it all up. Ciao!
