MABA!

Sorry, I had not intended for it to be so long in between blogs but the internet has been funky for a while now so I write when I can.

Last week we resumed school from our two week spring break. My kids were so good the first day but then they went crazy! Needless to say last week did not just fly by like the ones previous. It ended on a good note- Friday was a great day with my kids. I let the three year olds play dress up for the first time and that was a total blast!!! I was worried about them throwing fits and not sharing but just the opposite occurred- they were great! They were so excited to be dressing up that they did fuss a bit. I have one little boy in my class that reminds me a bit of a baby mobster. He's really sweet but the way he walks and talks- its hilarious. Anyway before I knew it he was sporting a pink ballerina tutu and walking around saying "I'm pretty!" I laughed forever!

I'm trying to tell the kids how much I love them so they don't forget then I quiz them, "Who loves you?"
"God loves me."
"And who else?"
"Jesus loves me."
"And who else?"
"Madam Sarah loves me!"
"Very good. God, Jesus, and Madam Sarah love you."
Its rather similar to the Trinity with a slight variation.

Last Sunday I was asked to sing with the Calvary Baptist Church choir. That's pretty much the highest compliment I have received while being here. Rob Seaton and I are going to take them up on their invitation we have decided. Tomorrow we are going to talk to the choir director about joining the choir. I'm only here for a few more Sundays but how many times will I have this opportunity?

It is hot! I'm not talking Texas in August hot either. I'm talking sweating while you're taking a cold shower hot! I go to walk out my door in the morning and sweat before I even touch the door knob. I've grown accustomed to the way I smell which worries me a bit. Not going to lie about that. I've gotten used to seeing myself in the mirror looking the way I do and it does not frighten me as it used to. Being the Texan woman that I am, that frightens me. At the same time I love it and wouldn't change it for the world.

Tonight we are having a going away party for one of the missionaries. Melissa has been transferred to Liberia. Sad for us but this has been the plan for her the entire time she has been here. She will go home first for a little while and then to Liberia. The village there is just getting started and she is so excited!

I am so thankful for the chance to write this to you. I pray you are all well.

Stinky and loving it!

Sarah
