Time flys by when you are having fun.....

I just realized that we leave 4 weeks from today to go home. Its crazy how time seemed to be going by so slowly when we first got here and now it feels like I blink on Monday and next thing it is Friday. When I thought about it, it really made me realize how much I want to make the next few weeks really count.

I want to take a minute to thank all of you who donated money to help purchase unirforms. My mom received $200, so that is 20 uniforms that will be purchased! Also, thanks so much to all of you who have donated school supplies to be mailed over. I don't think you will understand the joy it will bring to the boys and girls to have new pens, pencils, erasers, etc....so on their behalf I say "Thank You" or as they say it here "Medase".

Some of you may be wondering about the safari. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but I am continually learning to be flexible. In a 48 hour period, we spent 28 hours in a bus, riding on very poor roads, with no air conditioning. I learned very quickly that there are no nice clean rest stops to pull off and use the restroom. You just pull over and use the restroom...the restroom being a concrete floor, or a bush...interesting experience to say the least. We didn't see as many animals as expected, and broke down on the way home, but we all bonded and made lots of memories....good times.

I am trying to upload pictures right now, sometimes pictures are much better than words. Thank you all again for your prayers. My mom has shared with me how many of you ask about me and the team and it is so encouraging.

I was able to touch a crocodile a couple of weeks ago at this hotel we ate at. I was a little nervous.

This is a picture of my classroom. Not a great picture, but helps to give you an idea.
