The Craziest Day Ever

Today has been just really crazy. First, I got a call at 9 am from one of the staff telling me that from 10-12 I was supposed to play soccer with the children. That was fun. I played with the older boys and tried to teach them a few things.

Then, we had new children come! Lisa and Gladdis are 4, and Agrippa is 2. That was surely big news around town. The girls live with Momma Florence and Emmanuel, Ben, Salvio, and Mubiana. Agrippa is living with Momma Mwanza and Joseph, Happy, Jeff, Rachel, Samuel, and Mirriam.

Then, we had three new mini-missionaries come! They are staying with me! Wahoo! People around here! It has been quiet in this house for four weeks (yes, I have been gone for four weeks!) and it is good to have company. My roommate is Megan and she is 23 and an art teacher! This will be really fun getting to know her and Melissa and Kristy and showing them the ropes and introducing them to the children. They will help tutor and paint and do things around the village.

Well this has been a fun filled and exciting day and I am glad that new adventures will be beginning! I feel like I am at camp sometimes now. I do feel at home here but will be glad to return to my home in the states, albeit really sad to leave the children I love here. The longer I stay the more attached I get. Oh man...

All my love. Thank you for your prayers and support.
