Day 9- Church Cuties

Today we went to church. We got to sleep in which was nice. We say towards the front which was really cool. The girl actually came up to get us to let us sit there. She'd actually saved seats for us and even before that a few little kids came and just sorta sat on our laps. It was so cute and cool and just shows that were really here for a reason and making a real difference. We didn't even walk in for a few seconds. Anyway, once we got up there we had some face wars with the kids ahead of us, which was entertaining.

We ate some food and then played some games with the kids and fixed a swing. 

After that we came back and worked on thank you cards so the teachers would feel appreciated and cleaned up a bit. We made a playlist and packed and packed and packed. Finally we made some nice cards for 5th grade, which was quite fun.

I saw god at church while everyone was dancing and singing together and all those things and how nice they were being about sharing the food they had and just how kind everyone was. You could just really see his light shining through all these beautiful people. Also in how much his word through us made those kids get attached to us enough to find us at church and sit with us. Literally all we've done was teach some religion lessons and play games with them and that's all God needed to get them that excited to come near us. 

Although we spent most of the day at church. We did start to make a list of things we learned from South Africa. Here's some of the best.

1. Feed Bridget a whole chicken a day

2. It's probably a good idea to review the geography class because Gracie thought that Mexico was a continent and that Hawaii wasn't a state.

3. Animal planet doesn't lie.

4. Eggs taste like eggs.

5. African boys give girls cows instead of engagement rings but in Kayleighs case she's alright with cheeseburgers

6. There always comes a time in the day when you have to change your hat to sunglasses
