Hi followers! Today was yet again another successful day. We got up around 6:00 am and had breakfast as a team. I had a scoop of oatmeal and a piece of bread. The main item was toast with a fish mix on it. I'm just not that brave yet and didn't try it. However a few of the guys had it and said it wasn't bad. After breakfast we went out to a remote village to help fix desks and provide supplies to the children. I know I've said this many times but working in that village was one of the most rewarding things I've ever done in my life!!!
We first arrived and met the children at their school (the worst looking building you can imagine) and removed all their desks and fixed them. They were in desperate need for it. While the desks were being reassembled several of us took the kids (about 150 of them) and went to play games. Now let me tell ya---playing games with kids that don't speak my language and don't understand the game is very challenging! :) not to mention that most of them were scared of me bc they had never seen a white girl! However, we got through it and had an awesome time! By the time we left we were playing duck, duck, goose and singing and dancing! A successful day.
Tomorrow we will be doing much of the same stuff. I will be blogging soon about several of the team members! They are all just so awesome and I need to tell you all about them. I believe God chose just the right people to join me on this trip. They have been so supportive and encouraging!! So stay tuned for that blog---lots of funny moments!
