Forcing Bendjino to smile hahaha

Love my sweet Christopher soo much.

Today we had our last day of school before Easter break. I had an awesome day.We made bunny rabbit ear hats and had an Easter egg hunt. They had so much fun but it was very quick, it probably lasted 5 minutes haha. They each got to find 4 eggs. One of my really smart students Laurentz said to me, "Miss Sarah, I know how many eggs there are. And I said "how many?" And he said "112". Which is correct because I have 28 students and 28 times 4 is 112. And I was like "Laurentz did you do that math in your head??" And he was like "Yup". I dont think I could even add that in my head, I only knew because I had looked it up on the calculator the other day when I was counting my eggs. Haha. He's so smart. And sweet. And a little crazy. I love him. 

Then afterschool I went to Junior's house because his mom invited me. I had so much fun. I already know one of his sisters, who is my age, and I got to meet his other sister who is like 19 or 20 maybe and she lives in the Dominican Republic and studies medicine at a school there. She is fluent in 4 languages, Kreyol, English, French, and Spanish. But she said she wants to learn more! She said her Dad knows 7 languages, and wants to know more than him haha. She was telling me all these crazy stories. They were awesome and terrifying to hear. Like she had to get a shot in her eyeball before for something, like I never knew that could even happen. And she talked about a guy getting his knee cap popped back into place. And like how they found the cause of death of this body they examined in their medical class. But she was so interested in it, while her sister and I were like grossed out with that kind of stuff. I loved how passionate she was about what she was doing. It was really cool. And her sister and her made me lasagna, which like is crazy because there is almost no cheese here, to get cheese for it you have to go to the total gas station and it has it, but it's expensive. So I cant believe they made that for me. It was soo good. I had such a nice time meeting Junior' other sister. His sisters and I were laughing and talking for probably 2 hours haha, it was nice. :) And Junior was in there too showing me games on a little tablet he got. 

And the reason I came to their house today was because I went to their house last Thursday and only stayed for an hour, and that wasn't long enough for Junior and he cried in the car when they dropped me off at home, so they were like its okay Junior we will invite Miss Sarah for lunch next week. Haha. And they wanted me to come so I could meet his older sister too. 

Also we have been going to the House of Hope almost every week for like the last month or 2. Samantha and I have been taking the visitors there and it has been so much fun. I absolutely love visiting there. The kids are so sweet and special to me. The last time we visited was the funnest yet, they started playing Kompa off a speaker and had a little dance party, it was hilarious and adorable. Especially seeing this 2 year old boy I think his name is Meeks? Maybe. But he was one who I met when I visited in 2014, and he was a tiny tiny baby. He is still small, But he can walk, And he can dance! It was so cute to watch him dance with the other kids, That was so much! They also sang worship songs while we were there too, I loved it. 

Another day that sticks out to me, is a week or two ago I went over to Ketsia's house. Because her Mom is sick, so some teachers donated money to pay for the rest of their schooling because they couldnt afford it after all the medical stuff for their mom. So I walked over to their house to bring them the money with Bonard, her sweet brother in 6th grade. He is sooo sweeet. And while I was there we played uno. They both never played it before so I taught them how. We also played marbles. Bonard and I played it and he was so sweet, like I was pretty bad at flicking the marble right at first and I said something like, Oh my goodness I'm so bad, and he'd say "No, Miss Sarah, you are doing really good" Hahaha. It was sweet, But he beat me haha. And then I painted Ketsias nails. It was the first time she had her nails painted. And then Ketsia and I were on a team against Bonard in checkers and Bonard was like bragging about how no one has ever beat him in checkers. But we played 2 games. The first game Bonard won and the 2nd game Ketsia and I defeated the champion Bonard haha. :) Then Ketsia tried to teach me how to dance. It was hilarious. She said I was good (I was not at allll). And it was also so nice to see her Mom. She actually sat with us and watched us play and laughed. And then went to take a nap. I love her mom so much. She is a very sweet lady. Please pray for her and their whole family. I know its been really hard on them all.
