Thursday.

    Last night was definitely the best nights sleep I have gotten the whole time we have been so I woke up refreshed and ready to go. We had water but no electricity. We were getting ready to leave and something happened (I can't recall exactly what) and Mrs. said well that is a pain in the rosetta. :) Haha I had never heard that one before, but me and Keith thought it was a good one!

   Today we spent the day at the school which as always with kids was very interesting. They are, the cutest, sweetest, most fun little kids in the world! I got to sit in a kid seat at one of the tables with 3 little girls and 1 little boy. Miss Cummins gave me a pen and asked me to check their work...well that was not a good idea haha. The first little girl showed me the paper and for the number 7 in Spanish she wrote site. I was sure that it should be spelled siete, so I politely told her she could change it, but then she said the chart on the wall says it is site...she was right, that's what the wall said so I quickly apologized and told her she was right and did a great job!

   Then in one of the books the kids were supposed to use different words in a sentence. I already understood (due to the story above) that there are some differences between here in Jamaica and America. I wasn't sure how much she corrected them or if she would have them write a sentence over. One of the sentences they were to use the word lunch. The little boy wrote "I am lunch." What do you say to that? haha.

   Then one of the little girls was trying to ask me a question. It was break/snack time and she kept asking me "did you bring broccoli?" I kept saying no I didn't bring any broccoli. But she kept asking, finally Miss Cummins overheard and started laughing and informed me that she was asking me about Bradley, Mrs. Franklins gradnson haha. Whoops. :)

   We tried to take lots of pictures but we couldn't really get out my big camera because the kids would go crazy when they saw it. They all wanted us to take their picture or to use the camera to take a picture for us, so we used the pocket sized one and were able to get some decent ones.

   We were able to play outside a lot with the kids today especially after school, which was a lot of fun. School gets out at 2:30 but the kids stay and play until 5 o clock sometimes. Mrs. says it is because if they go home they will be on their own but they can play with the other kids if they stay there. Little boys just roam the streets here, it is pretty sad because many of them don't have a male influence in their life. So they love Keith!

   After a long day Mrs. picked us up and took us to see the shop. It was nothing like I was expecting. It was so small, just big enough to have some shelves on a wall and the person working to get what the person asks for. But it seems like a good thing because from what I gather the proceeds go to the school.

   After that she took us to "I Scream" in Sandy Bay, not what an ice cream store in the states would look like that's for sure! But the ice cream was great! Keith had "Fruit basket" which I had never heard of, but it was very tasty!

   When we got home we had water so we hurried to take our showers! Such a blessing on a hot, sweaty, eventful day like today!

   Thanks for your prayers! Keep praying! :)
