This morning I went over to my kid, Saborah's house. She asked me to come at 8 am so I was up early this Saturday. She lives right across the street from Sonlight though, so it was a very short walk to her house. She is so sweet. We played dolls together. She played with my hair. We played this game with old CD's where you slide one CD on the tile ground. And then you try to hit that CD by sliding more CDs at it. It was really fun. She said whoever loses has to give a surprise to the winner on Monday. She won, so now I need to think of a good surprise for her haha. Then we played tic tac toe. We also went onto her roof which was really cool because they are in the process of adding an upstairs to their house I'm guessing because on the roof there are several walls for rooms except there is no roof and not all the walls are there. It was cool, I wanted to play paintball on top of her roof haha, because that what it felt like with all the walls, but it still felt open because not all walls were there and there were openings in the cement walls for windows so you could still see a lot of the outside. It was cool. We played hide and seek up there. :) And then they also made me spaghetti for breakfast. I don't deserve that they would do that. And then we went to the store right outside her house and bought some yummy crackers and gum.

And then after that I met a boy named Wesley, like my brother. :)  His full name was Nicolasy Wesley, but he goes by Wesley I think. There is a fence that separates the school yard from this piece of land with plantain trees and stuff on it. He was on the other side of the fence. I had a lot of fun with him. And it makes me wish I knew more kreyol to understand more of what he said but I was able to still talk a decent amount with him. I learned he is 8 years old and he's in 3rd grade. And he has 3 sisters and 3 brothers. And his favorite color is red and his favorite animal is an elephant and he doesn't like the rain. I talked to him for at least an hour and a half haha. I met his sister. She is 18 like me. And I would point to things and say "Koman ou di" (How do you say) And then he'd tell me how to say stuff in Kreyol and then I'd tell him how to say it in English. And the he asked me if I wanted to play a little game and he went on one foot and I did not know what he meant by that haha and finally after like 5 minutes of me trying to figure out what he was saying I realiezed he wanted to race by jumping on one foot. So we both raced on to the end of the fence by hopping on one foot. Hahaha, it was so fun. We were both laughing so hard. We raced several times. We were both so tired. We either raced by hopping on one foot or we ran. It was really fun. And we played hand games with me reaching over the fence at one of the lower spots, and him reaching his hands up so we could play. And then we played with our eyes closed. And then I would tickle him through the fence and he'd laugh and laugh and he'd try to tickle me through the fence too. Then I said "Tann, mw retounen" (wait, I return) And grabbed my notebook and black and red marker and then I drew his name for him all cool.

Then after that I made churro bites with a lot of the missionaries kids, Riley H, Riley, Cameron, Ethan, and Ally. They were ahhhhmazing! And Grace (Mme Robs daughter) was supposed to come, but poor Grace was sick with a fever and headache. So we brought a bag with some churro bites to her house. And we saw Rob's sick motorcycle that he fixed up. He said its a 650 or something which is a really big motorcycle, it looked so cool! I'm excited to see him ride it places, it turned out so cool.

And then I went to Kreyol lessons with Kimley at the restaurant. And he picked pages out of my Kreyol notebook for me to study for a test next week. (I have 44 pages of Kreyol notes in there so far !!) And then he talked in Kreyol and I would first see if I could understand him and then I'd try to say something back. And that was really helpful. Because if I didn't know something, I could just ask him how to say something. And I also would read some pages of notes to him and he helped me pronounce stuff right.

And then we went to Miss Katie's house and made amazing grilled cheese and watched Now You See Me 2.

It was a really great day. :)
