So this week we have been fortunate enough to have some down time and a wonderful church has given us housing. We had spent 
some time in Vero Beach earlier this summer, and they knew about the break in our events. I am currently staying with an amazing family and three of my boys for six nights. It has been great to know that I am going home to the same house, at least for this week. Touring is so exciting and thrilling, don't get me wrong, but it will always be nice to stay in one place every once and a while. This house has a pool and the boys have been addicted to their pool table. That is the first thing that they do everyday after school. Today is my day off and I will be spending time at the beach. Apparently I look white...haha. I don't know how anyone could have gotten that idea into their heads.
This experience has already been life changing, and I haven't even
been on the road a month. These little children have become my own, and I feel this motherly pride every time they perform. The other day I even caught myself searching out playgrounds and new clothes for the kids, without thinking. One of the boys that I am with now, Joshua Busuulwa even told me about his family a little. He wanted to share what he would have been doing at that time on that day in Africa. He told me about his 11 brothers and sisters and their ages, he is the 3rd youngest, and that they would be outside playing and climbing in trees. Can you imagine having 11 brothers and sisters in Africa?
So moving on, this week I will be taking over the P5 math classes. I can't wait, math is my favorite subject and I have been missing all those accounting classes. They are starting on geometry, which could be interesting considering the last time I did any math like that was my freshman year in High School. Today, I will be reviewing about all those shapes, but I think it will be fun for the kids. This section allows them to draw and color, which lets face it, children love to do. I'll let you know how this class goes.
