"Sister Larissa, Please, do you have an A?"

Its become a nightly routine for us to play card games (so far only go fish) with the older kids of the daycare. Their names are Wisdom, Kingsley, Anthony, and Comfort. Its so much fun. I have never liked the game go fish, since its so slow but playing with them has taking it to a whole new level. Not only are the hilarious, but they are so sweet. When ever its Comfort's turn she has so sincerly that you hate when you have to tell her go fish. Meanwhile you have to be weary if your sitting next to Kingsley. He cheats. Openly ha ha My favorite thing they say is when they pick a card and its not one they want and they say " Very, Very Bad." I think you have to be here to understand how funny it is. We take turns bring them into "town" with us when we go shopping and get them a coke. Its a nice treat for them (and us because by then we are sweating buckets and the cold drink keeps us alive.)

We are now all teaching school. Mara and Kendra teach the primary aged kids and Kailey and I both teach English to the Junior High aged kids. Its a blast, and quite the experience. I am so grateful for the education I have recieved growing up and the one I am continuing to get. I could go on forever about how grateful I am for all that I have been giving and all the opportunites availible to me, but I don't have that much time and this internet connection is "very, very bad".

We played with chalk last night as well as some futbol. It was fun. I love these kids.... not gonna lie I would do pretty much anything for an airconditioned room though. The days seem to last twice as long as normal days, only because we sleep so very little due to the heat. We have learned to laugh through the sweat, no worries :)

Love you all!
