I haven’t updated in SO long! Sorry.
I spent my first Monday in Kindergarten this week. Such precious children! 53 of them to be exact. My first job was to comfort and hold this little girl because her car got hit on the way to school that morning and she was all shaken up. Best part of my day! There was this little boy that got up in front of the class and was all pissed and throwing his little hands around... apparently he was mad at the driver that hit the little girls car and wanted to beat him up and hang him on a nail on the wall! The teacher tried to explain how we should forgive others… he wasn’t taking it. Haha Tuesday of this week I started making arrangements for the April trip and I baked some Zucchini muffins for our neighbors and friends. Wednesday’s im in the Creche (daycare) and I’m already starting to have attachments to these babies! This one little girl, Rania, will look at you and say "mommy went to wash her handsss" any time she starts to miss her mom. It's SO cute! By like the 34358974 time I'm like oh yeah? She won’t have any hands left! (She doesn’t understand me bc she speaks Hindi, haha) We have 11 kids in there under 3 but most are 1 ½ - 3 so it’s such a fun learning age! This Friday for the cooking class I decided to teach “No-Bake Cookies”. It was the quietest the class had ever been, which was a sign they liked them, I guess (= I was happy.
Going back EVEN further, Saturday the 13th, we went on a family hike. It was one of the most beautiful we’ve had here. It was a great day of walking and enjoying each other and even just sitting and enjoying the breeze on top of this mountain. (Where we could see sheep being herded down the side) The mustard seeds were just beginning to bloom and the entire ground under the apple trees were a bright yellow. It was absolutely beautiful. (If you have me on facebook, I uploaded some pictures from this day)
Back to more of the present… This past Wednesday I started feeling sick again. I ran a fever for a few days but by Saturday I started feeling slightly back to normal. It’s Monday now and I’m almost fully recovered, besides a sinus deal.
Today was my second Monday in Kindergarten (KG) and I was only in their about half the time and then Lizzy Mam gave me a project to do, so I’ve been working on that this afternoon. The weather is amazing here. I almost can’t even believe how drastic of a change it is from when we first arrived here. From 3 feet of snow to 60’s and 70’s with perfect blue skies and a constant breeze, has been quite the nice adjustment. (=
Today I logged on facebook to see my entire newsfeed blown up with friends status updates talking about the healthcare plan being passed and how crappy it is, or how we’re doomed, or blah blah blah. It’s funny to me to see how much ”faith” people seem to have in someone they don’t even necessarily agree with. I don’t know about you guys, but MY faith is in someone far greater, far more powerful, and far more in control than Obama and that’s Jesus Christ! I really can’t even wrap my head around why so many young people, well people in general, have such a lack of faith in the promise that God does what He says he’s going to do and God is who He says He is. And if that’s truly the case, then don’t you think He’s the one in control? Food for thought.
