Late Entry from a few weeks ago, because the internet was not working


The highlight of my day today was one of my kids, Bill, was calling me and he called me Mom on accident instead of Miss Sarah. It was so sweet. It made my day. Because I remember the only person I would call Mom instead of my actual Mom was my Aunt Karyn, who I really loved and was close too, so it just reminded me of that. It was sweet.

And at the end of the day three students were baptized, I teared up. Two of them were girls in my Bible study. I am so proud of them.

After school I played kickball with some kids for a bit. It was fun, I got some home runs :) And finished my Sponsor letters.

Yesterday we had a staff party for all the teachers and assistants and people who help cook or clean, and just all the workers for Sonlight. It was fun. And long. hahaha. (5-9pm). My favorite part was playing this balloon popping game where you tie a balloon to your foot and go in a circle while trying to stomp on other peoples balloons, but protecting your own, I didn't get out right away, I was probably in for a good 3 minutes, which I'm really proud of myself for haha, I thought I'd be the first one out.

On Saturday, I went to Mme Ilaire's restaurant for Kreyol lessons with her kid. And after I went with them to go to the Plas for ice cream because they know I love ice cream haha. But before that we went to the market (me, Mme Ilaire, Widloveson, Witchy, Woodkimley, and Walkem)  because she needed to buy clothes for the program for her 4 boys. So they picked out their clothes. And there were dresses there too, and she started talking to the lady who sells clothes, and before I know it she is having the vendor pull down dresses and Mme Ilaire is putting them up against me asking me if I think they are pretty, which they were. And then I realize that she wants to buy me one, and I tell her boys, "tell your mom she shouldn't buy me a dress, she doesn't need to do that! I can buy one instead" And they translate to me that she said, its my Christmas present from her, and she wants to. So she bought me a beautiful dress. I think that is one of the nicest sweetest thing anyone has done for me. Those dresses were not cheap, and she was already buying her 4 boys dress shirts and pants and shoes, but she still got it for me. I'm still in awe of that. It was so sweet. My dress is beautiful. I wore it to the staff party we had yesterday. And then after that I went to the Plas with Widloveson and Kimley, there wasn't any ice cream sadly haha but we got grape Fanta and watched the ending of a soccer game where Real Madrid (I think, or whatever the team from Brazil is) against Barcelona. And Brazil won, and all the people watching the game liked that tem so they were super excited.
