Sunday!

Me and Emma <3 

Today was awesome.  I went to church with the boys, which is a traditional 3 1/2 hour African Service. It was so much fun.  The choir is right up my alley.  They dance and sing and the whole church is bouncing around praising the Lord. I absolutely love it.  After church me, Emma and Davis went to the Market, I needed to get some peas, carrots, potatoes, and I bought a pineapple to share with the boys.  They love fruit and hear anytime you get fruit its considered a really special treat.  I love getting special things for the boys when I can, I love how happy it makes them. So after church we ate lunch really quick. Sunday is the day the boys get a really special lunch and dinner. They get rice with geanut sauce which is basically smashed peanuts and matoke which is mashed bananas. I dont like the Matoke but the geanut sauce is pretty good. After lunch we went with the boys to their school. I felt like a proud mom.  Today was basically like PTA for the kids.  Emma came up to me as we were approaching the school and was like your my mom, I want you to be my mom and come with me to my class.  Ahh talk about making me smile and breaking my heart at the same time. He chose me to be his mom and felt loved enough by me to give me that honor. I love Emma so much and I was so proud of him today. I was proud of all the boys. For kids that really haven't had any schooling in their whole life they're doing a great job.  Their school is a really good one and teaches them everything in English.  A lot of the boys struggle in reading but are pretty good in math.  So after PTA we came back home, the boys went and played soccer and me and Abby went to the supermarket to get some more groceries and she wanted to buy cookies for the boys.  Saturdays and Sundays are movie day so after dinner they got to watch a movie.  I love these boys so much and each day I fall even more in love with them and Africa.  I just don't know how or if I'm going to be able to leave them : ( 

I'm praying for God's will in my life and praying he will direct me in the path he wants for me.  I do miss everyone back home very much and I thank you all everyday for the prayers and support. <3 Carla
