Today was so much fun. The Juniors and Seniors had a soccer game against each other in the backyard of the school, where we have recess. It was awesome. The tickets were very cheap (2 Haitian dollars) so a ton of kids showed up. I had so much fun. They had a big speaker playing music and Mr. Harry, the French teacher for the younger grades was dancing with all the kids. Like he was doing dance moves and they all copied what he did, it was sooooo hilarious oh my goodness. I'm so happy he is my kids French teacher, he's awesome with kids.


Above is Marvens and I, he is Amber's kid. :) And he is sooo adorable. I love him so much.


It was so fun seeing all my kids there, out of their school clothes. They all had so much fun. They tried to get me to dance with them hahaha. And one of them wanted to take a picture of me, and so I was smiling, and for literally half a second I made  a really silly, unattractive looking face, then went back to smiling normally, and of course they took the picture when I made the silly face. It was so funny.


Also, side note, Laurentz, my smartest genius second grader is so hilairious. The other day I said "Laurentz, you're always ahead!" and he replied, "I'm not a head, I have feet" hahaha, only Laurentz. And then today he said "Miss Sarah, do you know how many hours there are in a year?" and I said " I don't know, do you?" and he said "8,760" That boy. He is hilarious, clever, and so smart. I adore him.

Last Saturday I went to the House of Hope again with Samantha, Kimley, and Andjy. I went on my first real tap tap ride. (A tap tap is what we call a pick up truck here, because how it works is a bunch of people pile in the back and then they drive down the main road and you "tap", but really bang, the side of the truck when you get to your destination, so the driver knows to stop.) So we took motos to where the tap taps are and then you pay 5 dollars (like 35 cents, to ride in) and they fit a lot of people in there haha like a lot of people, you are squashed the whole way. And then at the House of Hope we made bracelets out of pipe cleaners with the kids and Samantha played uno with some of the older ones. It was really fun, I always love going there. We plan to go more often and build better relationships with the people there. :)

At school today, during snack, Wawens grabbed my hands and started dancing with me hahaha, because we listen to worship music during snack time, it was funny and cute.

The other day I took my bible study girls to the house of hope again. It was awesome, I so love going there. The day before we went we made a 100+ cookies at my house because there are 100 people working there/kids there. So we brought all that. And I just loved sitting on the ground holding precious babies. There was a little girl, maybe 2 or 3, who just came up to me and gave me a hug and sat in my lap, it was so sweet. And I brought nail polish and we all painted the girls' nails. It was really nice and fun to just play with the kids :)

Yesterday Wawens (the cutest little boy on planet earth, in my class) wrote in his journal that his teacher is his best friend haha, it was cute.

Also the other day we passed out bags to my class that had oreo cookies in them, and the kids saw that I didn't have a bag and a few of them gave me their cookie to have, it was so so sweet. Especially because oreos are like a real treat to them because they don't have them here. And I would tell them, no it's okay you should have it, and they'd say Miss Sarah I want you to have it, it was cute and really sweet.

Today afterschool I got a fresh coconut off a tree from Kimley's family, it was sooooo good and sweet and yummy. :) Witchy cut it off the tree for me. :)
