Day at School

June 7-

Today we woke up around 7 and ate breakfast at 7:30. Breakfast here is definitely the best meal of the day. Then we drove about 45 minutes to the school. On the way there many people were outside of their houses waiting for us to drive by and we all found so much joy in the big smiles and waves that we received and gave, which made us so excited for the school. When we pulled into the gates, it was just absolute chaos, but the best kind of chaos. Our arms were being tugged in every direction and every kid just wanted to be loved. Around each team member was a swarm of kids. Every girls hair was turned into a birds nest, each phone became a paparazzi camera, and every boy became a climbing tree. We finally all sat down for lunch and we were all DRAINED. But there was still a smile on our faces. After lunch we continued more fun and games like duck duck goose and simon says lead by Kate Phillips. By 4:30 we left the school, which was a hard goodbye even though we still see them all next week. These six hours were probably the most impactful hours of our lives. None of us have ever experienced fun, joy, and love like this. And luckily we still have another week to see how God will reveal his love to us and the kids.
