Holy smokes!

Last time, on Dereks blog!

So, yeah, we had the Summer Program going on last time I made a blog. Well, now it is over, since it was only going on through the month of July and the kids are going back to actual school. It was fun, the kids were really starting to capture my heart but now, all good things must come to an end. The Kids Club will be going on for a couple of weeks, so about six sessions of that left and then the kids go to school, or home. Whichever comes first.

We might be going to work in orphanages, and the girls might be going to another province to do some work with the women there. Whatever we will be doing, we will be servants to the people we are serving, and continue to love on the people here and learn their ever confusing language. Its not easy, but at least I am starting to get the hang of it. Listening wise anyway...I am not very good at speaking it. Maybe thats because I also want to learn German and Portuguese...hmm....anyways.

I feel like writing a narrative about genesis. I have started it, but I dunno if it would be cool to post a chapter on my blog, separate of the Fantastical Adventures thread and going off something else. I will let you know what happens next, or just send an email to whoever wants to read it. ANYWAYS...thats it for me. Laters.

Day...something.

Ugh...time is so misplaced here that I sometimes forget what day it is and what is going on. Saturday-Wednesday is the schedule with Thursday and Friday being the weekend...so weird. I am starting to get used to it but it feels like time is just...slapping me around violently. My grasp on what is and is not seems to be just a tool of keeping me sane. Ah...enough of the weird talk, lets get down to business.

First things first...look at these bad boys here ---->
Do they not strike fear into your hearts? I mean...sure, maybe the one on the right may look a little...crazy, but the other two look just right. Anyways, for about twelves dollars US I was able to get the material and the tailoring done for my clothes. They are pretty magnificent.

We began a summer program for the kids here which is pretty cool. There is an Art, Drama, and Sports area, so the kids are able to get a variety of things done in the short time of three looooong hours. A contradiction, neat-o.

Also, we take care of some younger kids for their parents as they work in a little club which gives us some more chances to do some work and keep busy. A pretty full schedule of kids with about 6 hours every other day except Thursday and Friday. Not too hectic..but it gets a bit tiring. So far...

...anyways...I got sick the very first week...and I have the runs...so this is the end of the story for now. Have fun everyone!
