School is Out

Well it is hard to believe but the kids have left for their Aug. break.  The school is very quiet.  Before they left Jillian and myself went and bought cupcakes to give to all the kids and teachers.  Very special treat for them all and we could give out 400 of them for under $40.  So easy to bless them.  We spent the last day off school with them.  It was a little hard as they would come up to you take your hand and quietly say they will miss you.  And of course there was a quit a few that are missed for sure.  I have never played so much Uno in my life as I did or the last three months.  But believe it or not I am missing it.  The saying good bye came easier knowing I would see them again in Sept. when they return since I will be staying until Oct. 13^th.

Every year the school gives an opportunity for the high school kids to take a trip to Mombasa.  It is on the coast of Kenya.  About a 9 hour bus ride. This year 6 kids are going and I will be going with them along with Dorris who leads them every year.  I have never been there so am looking forward to the trip and the time with the kids.  We leave Sunday and return Aug. 15^th.  Should be a good time.  I am sure I will be exhausted but that is good.

Jillian left this week back to Ontario.  So I am now the only one here.  It will stay that way for the rest of my stay.  In one way it is nice to have the space I am sure I will miss having someone to talk too.  But it all feels like home so that is a good thing.
