A GREAT PLAN "B" DAY

What a great day we had today - especially since it was plan "B" -since our paint didn't arrive in time for us to get to work today.  We went to the morning recess at the school and then spent about an hour in the pre-school classroom making bracelets and necklaces with the little kids.  After lunch we took time to do some of our sharing - we talked about our observations from the morning and what a great morning it was.  How fortunate we are to have the schools we have with the smaller classes, resources, etc to get a great education.  We realized how quickly bored children in the US can get with bubbles, frisbees and jump ropes and how these children would play hours with them and never get bored because they are just so grateful to have something to play with.  It was an ice cream day today too so that made us very happy.  After returning from ice cream the rains came and the girls had so much fun on the roof in the rain - as you can see from the pictures.  Then we went back to the school to help at the school with the beads in the afternoon pre-school classroom and then the girls were off to their houses for the night.  We spent so little time with our families yesterday on Easter and with the rains tonight they decided to just stay and play with their families tonight and get a good night of sleep before our long day of painting tomorrow.  The thought of leaving their families here in just a few days is already bringing some tears.  It is amazing how quickly these friendships form and how strong the friendships become over such a short period of time.  All are still healthy and doing great with the food and the language.  That is about it for now as I am sure the electricity will be going out soon.  Prayers and Blessings to the Wilhelms today - we prayed especially for Anna's grandpa today on the day of the funeral.
