A million little hugs a day.

Every morning we take a thin, narrow, path through banana trees, corn stock, and other plants.
It isn't a straight path, it isn't a flat path, and it isn't and easy walk.
After we go through the thin path, we get on this wider path with people walk different directions. Make sure you don't get run over by a bike taxi. You have to move out of the way because they wont stop, but if their nice they will at least honk at you to get out of the way. Along this crazy busy path way that we walk each day and children, tons and tons of children. The first day we were here some of the children hesitated to wave at us and even some of the little ones cried when we got near, but now they run and hug us.

What a special blessing to get a million little hugs a day. You can feel the love they have for us.

We are being fed so well here and have tea time 3 times a day. Even though it is the same food almost everyday, Bonifus knows how to change it up just a bit. I always feel full and satisfied. I am starting not to enjoy the meat though, after seeing a few parts that look like a heart or organ hahah. It really hit me when the tea tasted like the meat, yeah that freaked me out just a bit. I still get fed well though!

In the Morning we go to the nursery school to teach 4 classes. We split up into two groups of 3 and teach 2 classes each. It is a little bit diffcult to teach when they don't know english and the teacher is busy trying to get them sit and there is sooo many of them. We try to go over colors, animals, letters, and numbers as well as play games and sing songs with. Even though they can be a handfull they make it up really easily by all the hugs theyh give me and the sweet things they say in english. "Thank you teacher for teaching me!"

Our host are the best. We are served all day everyday, by Bonifus. I learn more about him everyday. He is seems like a man of little words, but on sunday when he was given an opportunity to preach, he blew my mind. I realize that he is a man of little words only because it is difficult to communicate with us. He shared through translator a little bit of his story. What impacted me the most was when he shared with us that his wife had AIDS and so did all his children, but he didn't. His wife had AIDS before they were married, but through child barring He never got it, what a miricle. AIDS was transfered to all 8 of his children though, but praise God they were healed. WHAT?! Yeah crazy right! What a miricle! Bonifus is now an envangalist traveling far from his family to preach, but also to serve. I just can't believe he is so humble to serve us hand and foot, and he wont let us serve him or ourself. He sings his heart of every morning as he serves us and he is so happy to see us and greet us each morning.

There is so much more to blog, so might make a few more while the internet is working at the house. We paid 65 USD to get internet with a stick, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and most of the time if it does work, it is sooo slow, but hey it is something!

In just a bit a few of the girls are going to the church to teach how to play guitar and keyboard! We get so much rest and free time and it is such a blessing so that I can spend intimate time with the Lord.

Prayers:
Still flighting being sick along with a few other girls on our team, so please pray that I can continue to fight it so it doesn't stop me or anyone else from doing ministry. One of the girls on our team hasn't been able to do much at all, we are trying to make sure she gets enough rest. We might have to take her to a clinic soon. Please pray for God's healing to be upon her.

For us to use our free time to glorify the Lord.

Pray for clear Communication and patience as we try to teach adn talk with the Locals.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support! Love you and miss you guys so much!
