This last weekend we had a three day weekend which was a nice break. On Saturday we took a trip to the beach with some teachers, their kids, and the 8th grade boys. It was really fun. The water was really pretty and the waves were huge. So huge that I only went out deep twice and when I did it was too scary for me to stay out there long, I just stayed like a minute or two then went back to the shallow water. Some of the waves were really massive.
We all rode in Jerry's bus there and back. I got to play with little Conrad at the beach for a bit. He is so cute. I can't get over it. ♥
And I got to talk for a bit to an 8th grader named Paul, he was so sweet and asked me a bunch of questions like my favorite subject, animal, sport, color, etc etc haha
And I buried Witchy in the sand with Ethan, that was fun haha

On the way home a few of the tires popped and it took a few hours for them to fix them, but the waiting wasn't bad for me because we just threw a football around and played catch so it didn't seem as long to me thankfully!

Oh and last Friday Sonlight had their first basketball game so I went to that and it was fun. The court they played on was the same one that I played on before for fun, it's a nice court. They lost, but hopefully next time they'll win. And the second half of the game it was dark out and they only have like 2 lampposts out there so I think it must be more difficult for the refs and players to see.

And then 2 days ago on Monday I had my first Kreyol test with Kimley. I had to study all my notes for it, which was A LOT, I have like a ton of notes about Kreyol. 18 pages to be exact. And then he picked 10 sentences from all those pages and wrote them in English and then I translated them to Kreyol on my own (without notes) and I got 17/20! Which is 85%, which isn't too bad I think :) And then I bought food for Samantha and I at his mom's restaurant (which is where I also took my test).

It's really hard to learn a whole new language, like reeeaaalllyy hard, but I am so grateful I knew I wanted to come to Haiti back in 9th grade (because that is why I took French in highschool). And even though French is different than Kreyol, there is still a lot of overlap with some words at least so it has helped me a lot to be able to learn it quicker than I would have without knowing some French.

Also we got our freezer stuff yesterday, so I got my white chocolate chips, so today I made the kids nutella white chocolate chips cookies, they had all never had (or even heard of) nutella before! They loved them.. :) And Sephora set an all time record in hula hooping with 200 seconds, I don't know how I'll ever top that. My highest is 87 seconds.
