Today was really cool... this morning the team went to Lake View to do an assembly. We actually beat the principal AND the deputy principal there! (go figure...) Anyway, the kids seemed to enjoy it. We taught them a song geared more for the little kids and then Todd gave a talk about purpose and God having a plan for their lives. The little kids didn't really understand, but they still seemed to enjoy the novelty of 11 white people (and Americans to boot) being at their school. After the assembly 4 of the team members (Todd, Cheryl, Heather and Kelly) came to class with me. Todd brought Angie's guitar and we taught them a song (Lord, I Lift Your Name on High) and basically had a question/answer time. They tried to work in little "lessons" into their answers, and fun was had by all. ;) The team members learned a lot too by asking the kids questions!! While we were teaching, the rest of the team went prayer walking Dhlamini and they met a lady who wants to have a Bible study in her home!!!! WOOHOO!! We have been praying for this for so long, and I am so excited to finally have the chance. After that we went to the mall so they could exchange money. It became a little crazy when my friend Craig learned that we had US dollars to exchange and he wanted to exchange over 6000 Rand... since it's easier to exchange dollars for Uzbek currency. It was madness... to say the least!! But in the end we were able to help him, and we got a better exchange rate with him than we would have with the exchange people! (But we didn't jip him, I promise!!) After that I took Nathan to the college I study at so that he could meet Dr. Gregory, an American missionary who teaches there. Nathan wants to teach somewhere like that someday, so it was cool for him to get to see what goes on there and what he'll need to do to be able to teach at a place like that someday. After that I came back to the Holiday's house and everyone was taking a nap!! So... I took a nap too ... kind of... I watched the movie, Spirit, with Joshuwa and we tried to sleep.... but sleeping with a 3 year old is no easy task. It's all fun though. :) And NOW... it's dinner time! Hooray for Janna Kay's cooking! Later!
