Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

Day 3 :]

Hello! so today might have been the longest day ever...but i mean i cant complain because i am somewhere awesome! Today we got up at 5, and eh around 6 finally made our way east towards another village. It was a good 3 hour drive that took 5 hours because the roads here are AWFUL. we had to dodge hole after hole. I have a headache and my neck hurts.. but the scenery on the way there made it worth it. We went through different villages and saw alot of different things you'd only see here. Everything is GREEN. not used to that...once we got closer to the mountains, it looked like it was straight from a movie. We went to this other village to visit a school that is owned by the Village of Hope. They needed help with there schooling because a few teachers are ill so me and the 2 other girls i am with went out there for the day.
  The place up there is awesome! Its up on top of the mountain so it's cool, and you have a great view. I worked with the little kids...like nursery and kindergarden. They were a handful.....and kind of made my descision to veto getting an education degree a good choice. You could tell that these kids arent used to people coming to visit them because right when we got there they went crazy. All they wanted to do was be right next to you and hold your hand or touch your arms. I took alot of the kids out to the field and we played soccer for a good hour and a half. It was alot of fun. Well, its 9:30 here and im exhausted, mom, know i see why you go to bed so dang early! 
 But right now our plan is to go back out there on tuesday and stay for like 2 weeks just to get a load of their hands. They really acted like us being there was a blessing, so we might as well go and help out, since thats what we came here to do in the first place. I hope all is well back home! Sorry I cant upload pictures to this, internet is expensive when you start doing stuff like that. Just know that I am taking alot of them and will have plenty to show when im home!


until next time!
