Saturday School!

Ilove being here more everyday, the kids are finally fairly comfortable with us and so we’re laughing together A LOT more- my cheeks hurt tonight from laughing so much today. Yesterday we brought 5 volleyballs to the school for the kids and they LOVED it; surprisingly however the teachers loved it even more. We played volleyball with the teacher for over 30 minutes and they were getting so into it, they even cleared the students off the field so we could continue playing.

I taught the “baby” class (3&4 yr olds) this morning for their Bible class and it was an adventure. Some of them got bored and ran outside to play, some of them were turned facing the back wall, but most of them just sat starring at me with their mouths open. Bridget taught the older kids and after we were done there we journeyed with Richard and Helen (the owners of the orphanage) to a wild life reserve. After an Elon rammed the side of our car and almost broke the glass and tipped us over I did something I never imagined doing… I road an ostrich!!! By the end I was falling off but it was fun to say the least.

Tonight we gave the children their shoes that we brought them and what a JOY that was to get to do. Its amazing how something that is so simple to us could be so so so special for them. It was a miracle but each child found a pair of shoes that fit, praise God for that! Tomorrow Bridget is “preaching” in Kipsango, the worst slum in Kitale so please be praying for her. I miss home but I know I won’t want to leave when its time J
