Day 7- Mission Ambassadors? More Like Mainstream Teenagers

Today was epic. We taught at the school almost the whole day. 

Fifth grade gave us these amazing cards that they made with 50 Rand in them. We plan to put all the money together and buy them something nice. 

We taught 1st grade and gave them sparkly crosses we mase earlier and they loved them very much. The teacher even asked for one for her. It was quite funny as the kids decided to wear them as necklaces. I thought that worked out better then the original purpose of just hanging them up.

The best part of the day was after school when we got to play with the older boys. They taught us this game with clapping and whoever it landed on had to find someone of the opposite sex to hug. I got A LOT of hugs because Jodie, Bridget, Gracie and I were the only girls playing. It really must be something in these people's genes because they give the best hugs you can imagine.

At the end of the day we worked on leading a chapel. It was really fun to do, and went amazingly. We didn't mess up that much and they knew most of the songs that we tried to lead. Everyone paid attention good and it seemed to go well. We also got to give them Gospel bracelets which looked so cute on their bracelet obsessed selves and had such a good meaning behind them.  

After that we drove to Kruger. We had fun on the ride there with Taylor Swift, which most of the others disliked. Oh well. We then ate dinner at the hotel. My favorite line was "Jodie's pudding jiggles!" And after that we went up to the hotel and acted like mainstream teenage girls. We danced to one direction with our hairbrushes in a neon green room and then battled over the shower. We figured that if we had them there'd be a pile of ugs by the front door. Oh and we all screamed when Jen tapped the window. It was quite fun. After that we talked about secret colonies and such. The Hunger Games is on at 12:30 on Tuesday on channel 121. Be there. 

I saw God in how excited that the kids were to hang out with us and give us cards and just how sweet everyone was. I also saw him in how he kept us busy in the car and didn't let us be bored and things like that. 

And that's  basically all we've done:)
