Today was so fun in recess, we broke into two teams girls and boys and played tag in two rounds. First the boys have to catch the girls, but when they do, another girl who wasn't caught can free you. And then the girls had to catch the boys. It was so fun and extremely tiring haha, those boys are so fast and every time a girl would free me from them, another one would catch me right away haha, I was so exhausted afterwards, but we had so much fun. I love my kids so much.
I also showed them the Christmas song we are doing for the Christmas program, which is a big event here where every class performs a song. Our song is Joy to the World. I like it and they really loved when I passed out the lyrics to them today, they all started singing to themselves, it was cute. They can't wait for when we actually start practicing it, which will be next week I think.
Now I have to backtrack because there's a lot I have to catch you up on haha
Last Thursday, I went to a conference thing at the church in the evening, that Katiana (a 7th grader, who I've known since I first started coming to Haiti in 2011) invited me to. At it, I got to see Sophiana again (her sister who I also have known since 2011) she couldn't stay but came all the way there just to see me. I was so happy to see her, she no longer goes to Sonlight, so I don't get to see her as often.
Last Friday, I went to Rose's house afterschool. They have another family living in one of the rooms at their house (a mom, dad, and little 6 month old baby named Romano). I got to hold him for hecka long and I loved it. He is so cute. And I read him the I love Waffle book, and instead of looking at the book he'd stare at me while I read, it was so cute. And I loved hearing his mumbled baby talk.
We also played hide and seek and Rose's older sisters would show me the best spot to hide in while Rose was counting.
On Saturday, I went to the market in the morning with Katiana. We bought peanuts and this syrup (maybe its molasses?) to make something called tablet with the girls after Bible study on Tuesday. After we watched Divergent at my house while we cracked open all the peanut shells. It took forever! We opened peanuts during the whole movie and still didn't finished opening them all! So we are going to finish at Bible study when all the other girls can help us.
Then in the evening Samantha and I went to Sarah & Amber's house (the sixth grade teachers) for dinner. It was so fun. I especially love spending time with the kids. Stanley and Ralph are both in preschool and they are so funny. And Marvens is 2 I think and he is the cutest thing in the world. Their family is so awesome and inspiring. Amber and her husband have adopted, I don't even know how many kids, at least 7 kids, maybe more, from Haiti. And they already run their own ministry at where they live, and then on top of all that they are teachers at Sonlight and man its amazing what they do. We also played this card game called nertz, it was really fun, you play in partners and I don't know how to explain it but look it up and play it sometime haha, it was fun. I played with Sarah and we won the last round! And then we played spoons and Sarah (the sixth grade teacher) won almost every round, she is really good.
On Sunday we had a three hour church service for the anniversary of the church's birthday. They had lots of different groups of people singing which I enjoyed watching. And after they gave everyone a soda and a sandwich, and there were a ton of people there especially that Sunday because of the church's birthday so they fed a lot lot lot of people. And then I also worked on grades because they are due tomorrow. We have to handwrite our report cards three times each, it takes forever! Haha, but I'm almost done!
I'm gonna go finish writing my report cards now haha, Love you all!
