No bo day #3

No bo day#3 we woke up and headed down to the truck which got stuck in the mud! It took us 20 mins and 3 village people andd we knocked over a pumpkin growing thing. We headed off to the blessed home orphanage and right when i got out of the car 2 girls about 10yrs old came up to me and called me beautiful and then the one name cha lee gave me a hug! It was cute! So then we toured their orphanage. We left to go eat and then came back and all the kids jumped into the pickup truck. In all we had 23 people in one little pick up...it was like a clown car. We got to the grace boarding school and started playing games...it was absolute chaos 38 little kids running around! Then we passed out snacks and the kids here are so grateful every one of them said thank you and but their hands together and bowed a little. If i was in america kids would every now and then say thank you, but these are little 4yr olds and older being so polite and grateful. Anyway after snack they started playing soccer in a lot of mud which was entertaining to watch! And then after dinner and a church service we had another truck so there werent as many but in the cab of our truck we had 8 people when it usually fits 4-5. It was fun!

Busy busy day! In noh bo

Day#2 in noh bo i woke up with a bad headach and i fell asleep with one the night before, my guess is that im dehydrated orrrr caffine withdrawl, so i went and drank some mtn dew! We took many pictures with the students here and then they had us come to their dorms and we met many more people there! Thenn we went to their christian worship (be proud whitney(: ) and then we headed back and getting up the last hill we got stuck in mud!!! So long story short...my feet were brown from the mud.
