what a difference a day makes

What a day!!! My mind shift and time this morning truly gave me a new …everything! Today was a great day! Simple and great. A few girls helped me do laundry today (they are still so shocked a mzungu can do laundry…and tell me I do it ‘wrong’) and we had a great time just hanging out and talking. Then, it was tea where I cut up some fruit and made tea for us all. There was a funeral today, I went to see what it was like and got to see some before the rain poured and we left. Then, I took a couple girls on a walk with me into town to buy some air time. We spent the next two hours talking all about our culture differences, boys and dreams. It made my heart so happy. We went to a local farm and bought some veggies for Sarah. Then, it was hanging with the girls as this was most of their last night here. Sophie and I took a walk to chapel and were able to spend some good QT one on one. We prayed over each other and then I felt the led to give her some money… I swear, God speaks and I can’t help but give. When you think of all we have…what is $30 to us makes a literal impact on them forever. Sophie told me all about how she has been saving since our last conversation …where I really challenged her to save for what she wants. She has so many hope and dreams and all are centered around following Jesus. I know I can trust every shilling she spends. Then, I headed to the dorms to sit on the dirty floor and teach the girls the rhythm cup game. They LOVED it! Girls kept coming is as they hear the beat and us laughing. We played for over an hour. It’ll be a piece of me they can keep when I’m gone. Then, it was going to each bed to hug and kiss each girl … I’ll miss those girls, yet again, feel confident I’ll see them again. God willing, maybe for their graduation next year. They really want me to bring friends next time…anyone interested? Start saving!!! They are worth every penny (or $100 bill J)
