Noah had been asked all week to give the morning devotions at the medium boys house. He kept saying that he didn't want to, but given how much he was in our room...he had plenty of time to prepare and Bob and I told him that he should do it. This morning was the morning he 'preached'. He talked about following in the footsteps of God and focusing on where those footsteps actually were.
After his chat with the medium boys, we went to breakfast and then Alina, Noah and I hung out at the school with the medium boys until school started. I realized that with Bob here, I haven't really made a daily habit out of blogging, so I have quite a few days to catch up on now. I tackled that in the morning before recess, and then headed to the school at recess for Almy Misel to braid my hair. She really enjoys braiding my hair and I need to have it up due to the heat...so it's a win-win situation!
After recess, I worked with Miguel on his math. He had had surgery the week of the testing and will need to make up his tests this week, although based on the tutoring, I don't think he'll be ready this week. I worked with him right up until lunch and met Noah, Bob and Alina in the Comedor. I have been walking to the Comedor this week with Rachel Miller (the oldest of the Miller family children) since she is teaching reading in the elementary school. After lunch, I headed back to our room with Alina for her 2 hour break from the Toddler House and Bob went to fix a computer.
At 2pm, Alina took the camera with her to get some shots of the toddlers. Here are a few of the photos she took. Unfortunately since I didn't work in the toddler house this year, I do not know their names.
The afternoon and evening were fairly uneventful. We were going to play a basketball game with some of the bigger kids...Alina was really looking forward to it, however it got cancelled due to a Bible study that was added in at the last minute because of some adolescents that decided to break some rules here at Emmanuel this week. I guess the kids who were going to play against Alina will just have to wait until next year!
