The rest of the group (4 people) came about a week ago so Josh and I moved from the house where we were staying into the orphanage. We are in a room on the 2nd floor right by the boys rooms. So now every morning instead of pouring warm water over our heads we poor freezing cold water over our heads!!!!!!!!!!!!! It sure wakes us up!!!
We have been working at the school each day teaching with the teachers and helping them plan lessons for the next day. I have been working mainly in the second grade which has been somewhat of a stretch for me. Most of the teachers are very interested in having us teach or work with them on different ideas of how to teach a certain topic. They are open to new ideas and wanting to learn which is an encouragement.
Josh and I have been teaching some of grade 10 a drama. So for the past few days after school they have been staying after and working with us. A few evenings back we (the whole team) were asked to go to a service that the college students were having for the freshman (freshers). Once we got there they wanted us all to speak! Oh my! So we all had to think on the spot and share something. Thankfully the Lord brought something to my mind to share.
Everyone has been fairly healthy the past week. I am constantly itching. It seems any type of bug or bacteria is attracted to my skin! Fun times :) Josh and I have not had anything unusual living inside of us though which is a praise! Let’s hope it remains that way! Josh and I are sleeping on two beds that have been put together and our “mosquito net” is more like a tent on top of the bed. It looks like a dome shaped tent just without the stakes. I think it’s really cool because we don’t have to tuck in a net we just unzip the tent . Anyway….the other night Josh wakes up in the middle of the night (without me knowing) and gets a blanket from outside of our tent and brings it inside. Well, at some point during the night I wake up and hear whining/buzzing around my head. When we woke up the next morning there was about 4 mosquitoes in our tent. They had come in with the blanket! And guess who got bit…..that’s right me. Josh didn’t have one bite on him. I told him that if I got malaria it was because of him. Haha.
Most of the group that is here now leaves this Friday. My parents and Josh and I will remain for another two weeks. Pray that we finish strong. We are both getting very tired and are missing home.
