Dear Ya'll
Don't volunteer to do something unless you actually know how
to do it.
May 19 - Happy Birthday to my niece Braelyn,
and the baby of one of the families we're teaching. So on
Saturday they had a little party for her, and we were invited! Whoo!! Free
Cake! There were a lot of kids running around and playing. The mom, Francisca,
said they wanted somebody to do Face-Painting, but couldn't find anybody that
knew how.
So I said "Yo puedo."
Yeah..I told them I could do it. Now, I've never actually
painted anybody's face before unless you count my own makeup, but even then,
I'm not good at my own makeup and I haven't worn a lot of makeup lately. Yet I
volunteered to paint the faces of all these kiddos.
Most of 'em wanted to be clowns.... why..? So I slapped a
little white on the cheeks and red on the nose and called it good. It was
actually kinda bad, but they kept lining up and asking to be clowns! They also
requested butterflies, rainbows, and (my favorite) a Lion! I feel kinda bad
because I didn't do a really good job, but they kids loved it.
So actually, do volunteer to do everything even if you don't
know how. Develop your talents, try something new!
-here are the pictures of the kiddos-
I love you all so much! Please send me a little email about
the talents you're developing and how you're bettering your lives!
With skills and sunshine,
Hermana Pollard ☀
