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!"

Well we did our last day of taking over for the 1st and 2nd grade classes. Thank the Lord. But to be honest I really didnt have that bad of a time. I really did luck out with my kids. There were 1 or 2 kids that were trouble but those are in every classroom. I went over to Brittanys class today and she had some kid up at the board writing 'I will never disrespect my teacher' hahahah. He looked so mad and so did she. I sure did take a picture and it's priceless.
Sidenote to mom: Mark, one of the boys from the book, was in my class. Thought you'd appreciate that. It's so weird to think that tomorrow is our last full day here. Tonight I was over in one of the houses and they wanted to look at my pictures from America. So I was showing them pictures and it made me more and more excited to get back home.
 
                                             ::FAMILY::We went up and talked to Araba about what time we are leaving on thursday and we get to leave right after lunch which is good because then we will be able to go up to the school to say our last goodbyes to the kids. Everyone who knows me knows that im not a cryer, but i guarentee I will be crying on Thursday and I am not looking forward to it. All I hear now is..'well when will you be back'.  I wish I had an answer to give them. But when we leave we will drive to Accra and go to the open market which im really excited about...so if you have anything you'd like me to get you email me and i'll try to get it! Brittany is nervous about going to the market because we keep telling her she has to hold her ground and try to get the prices down and shes like ahhh im too nice I cant do it! haha so she will be our entertainment for the day! So today in class I was sitting at the desk while the kids where doing some problems I made up for them and this boy came up to me and asked me a question. He is the cutest little boy ever named Shine. I call him sunshine, he is 10 and precious. Well he came up to me and goes shelby, i need to go shit. And i was like WHAT?! excuse me? and he said it again and I was just like shine! and he was like what? i need to go to the bathroom. I was caught off guard at first but couldnt help but laugh. Cuss words in America are not bad words here. The other night Lebene put up his middle finger and was like hey what does this mean and I was just like uhm, its not something nice so dont do it. Then the next day he came up to me and was like shelby, what does fu*k you mean. Haha it was one of those moments where I really didnt know how to answer him. I just told him its a mean way of saying go away. When the kids get mad here instead of cussing, like im used to hearing they say 'are you mad??' Oh I have so many saying that I have picked up here that I know I will be saying when I get back home.

   We will be going to a mexican food restraunt for dinner on friday after get                               off the airplane. okay thanks!


Anyways one of the girls made some pineapple upside down cake so we are about to eat some and it smells delicoussss! :] so goodbye from now.
 
The fact of the matter is, we are all blind, and our only solution is to pray that God will show us our blindness.
