Sports and hugs (Carrie)

Jose outside our house after basketball class

Jose from House 2 has proven his ability to learn new sports along with tugging on all of our hearts.
Jose has always loved to play soccer with us whenever we play with the other boys and he's always been pretty good at it.This past week we began teaching some of the kids how to play basketball, which is something they don't play often at the Aldea. Jose was one of the best participants because he took the time to concentrate on the principals we were trying to teach him even if it meant the basketball didn't go through the hoop every time, he focused on shooting the ball correctly. Even after we were done with the activity he continued to practice. Another thing that we all love about Jose is how sweet he is. Almost every night we find our way to House 2 for hugs from Jose and the other boys before we leave for our house. Jose always offers hugs whenever you are leaving or randomly when he sees you and thinks you need one. I will definitely miss his sweet personality and tender nature when I am gone.
