Today was an amazing day!!
This afternoon Isaac and Robert (our goat keepers) were hanging around our
house and so I chased them because they kept running away. Jamie (the cook's daughter) caught up and the 4 of us ran to the playground and hung out. I found out so much about
them! Isaac’s favorite music is church hymns and then he sang one for me! He
has the voice of an angel, so high and perfect and beautiful. It was absolutely
amazing.
Monica and Julie met up with us and the 6 of us went for a
walk around the neighborhood. First we went to Vanessa’s house (Grade 6) &
her family was nice- they brought us chairs to sit on us outside. Then we went
to Prince’s house, who lives across the road from Mary. We met both of them and
Jonathan and about 15 other kids, ranging from age 1 to 13. It was such a
blessing! We talked and talked and raced down the bumpy, pot-holed dirt road,
and laughed and laughed. We finally made our way back to the school and on the
way Prince was trying to convince me he could read palms. Apparently I am 100
years old and very short. My father is 2 billion and my mother is 1. I really
enjoyed our walk, even though Prince told me that when he gets angry he eats
human flesh, but judging on his palm reading skills I just assumed he was not 100% truthful. I am so happy to be here, and so blessed to have this experience and meet
these children! The smile on their face alone makes everything else seem small
in comparison. It will brighten the darkest day.
