Quick update

Hello!
So another quick update date! Yesterday we got another day away from work, we went to uShaka. It was super nice to get away and we had alot of fun! uShaka is a water park/ marine. And we actually went ocean walking with sting rays and fishies:D that was super cool!
But today was back to work again and i am feeling very wiped right now. It was a long crazy day!
Worked with the older kids this morning, was doing spelling with two of the girls that should be in school but arn't yet cuz they just got there. They picked it up so fast! Earlier this afternoon we took the older girls shopping in town adn get the clothing and under clothing that they need. It was a nice get away for them adn gave us girls time one on one with them which let us get to know them so much better! From there we walked to the afterschool program which went exceptionaly well again tonight! Then back again to the orphanage for two house forh help with dinner nad bed time, and then home for dinner at 7 and down time!!
Feeling very tired and kinda drained but we have the weekend some what off and hopfully i can get lots of sleep! I'm also at the point where i want my own bed and my own this and jsut thinking how nice it will be to get home. Which is a good thing, since i will be in 8 days! But it will be very hard to leave the kids here. Just thinking how im gonna say good bye to them rips me up. And leaving the weather here...in a way i don't mind when it rains and is yukky id gladly go....but on the nice summer evenings when the stars are out and i can lie on a nice green yard staring up at them....hmmm....that makes it harder!!!!
Well i should go....please keep praying for me and for my travels back to u all. Also keep the team im here with in your prays as three of them are really sick and some not feeling so great! Also as it is very bad timing since two of the sick people are flying out tomorrow for Uganda. Pray that they will feel refreshed and better in the morning!!
See u all soon

Well the summer evenings sound really great since we woke up to about 30 cm of new snow this morning after I had cleaned up 10 cm from yesterday. Thank goodness we had the thaw last week and lost a lot of snow, now at least there is room for the new stuff. Luv u both, Dad and Mom.
