Today was a hard day for me. I had a sad day today, a boda driver tried to rip me off halfway home and another one got lost. I realized how much I missed my family and friends today. I guess I just experienced a little bit of home sickness today. Don't get me wrong I love it here but I do miss everyone back home so much. The day got better as it went on. The boys always know how to cheer me up. They got home from school and Abby had bought these fake animal tattoos so we spent the next hour putting tattoos on. I have monkeys and bananas on my wrist and a cat on my back haha! Then me and Abby decided it would be a special treat to cook pancakes, scrambled eggs, and yogurt for dinner. OMG talk about boys that were super excited over pancakes and yogurt. The boys don't get yogurt here and to them its almost like icecream, its a special treat. So me and Abby made 35 pancakes and had strawberry yogurt with it. When you see boys get excited over pancakes and yogurt its hard not to let all your other emotional feelings go away. The boys were so excited over the pancakes two of them danced while me and Abby cooked them. They literally danced for more pancakes it was the cutest thing. After dinner I prepared my bible study for the girls program tomorrow. As I was preparing Davis came and gave me a foot massage. What 13 year old boy decides that they want to give someone a foot massage when he has 15 other kids he could be playing with? I love these boys more and more everyday and I'm so thankful they're in my life. Tomorrow they don't have school so I'm sure I'll be playing with them all day. I get really excited when its my time to lead bible study at the girls program, they are opening up so much and I love sharing about the Lord with them. I pray that each day they will yearn to grow closer to the Lord. A lot of them are sick, some have been in and out of the hospital quite a bit lately. They've been getting treatment for aids, some are doing well and others are going through some rough spells. I pray the Lord will continue to be with them and watch over them during this time. Its really sad knowing they are living with aids but I'm so proud of them for continuing to have faith in the Lord and not get angry or turn away from him.
