Today was a wonderful day! We walked A LOT:) We walked the kids to school and back twice. The walk is fun because we talk to all of the village people, and the view is AMAZING! We also went to market twice. The first time we went to get produce and the second time we got fabric and baskets. It was so crowded.
After that we did activities with the kids. First we did a craft with the kids where they made a picture of what they think Heaven looks like. They used glue, crayons and glitter. At the end of the craft some of the kids had more glitter on them, than on their craft.
Something the children were really excited about was learning karate with Ed. They were so cute punching and kicking. Then all the kids gathered to watch Ed throw Mike onto the ground:) After karate, most of the kids played a huge game of football (or soccer) with Ed, Isaac, Mike, and Alaina, while Leah and I blew bubbles with the kids. They LOVED bubbles!
At night we attended youth group and family night. To hear the kids sing is just amazing. We all love the kids so much and feel so blessed to be here.
Thank you to all of you who are reading the blog and praying for us! We Love You.
