This is me and my ramblings...

dear family and friends i know i am sounding like a broken record but really time FLIES down here!!! it seams like only a day or two ago that i wrote here about last week and now i am suppose to have a whole nother week that i can right abut....well i don't know what day did i write my other post??.... well ok sat. we went on the beach oh it was so amazing!!! it was sooo nice just to relax! and i could just feel all those bad toxins leave my body as i soaked in the ocean....the water is so warm and relaxing and ya.... just amazing... you will have to come experience it for your self to know what i mean.. anyway enough of that. it was kinda crazy i was grumbling to myself about not knowing what was my responsibility to buy and what comes out of our 'community' fund.so we come home from town and i finally got ahold of this piece of informationt that you should get your own snacks for school lunches. well so for some dumb reason i was rather distraught! (what a silly thing to be fussing to myself about i know)Well lo and behold sunday morning a lady who comes to church here and likes when i sit with her in church said she had something to give me and guess what it was!!! yes, you got it... snacks!!!!! i felt rather embarrassed, and felt like i should share this because it was so cool (and humbling) but anyway God def. got my attention there! ok so i talked about sunday some now. that afternoon the whole church clambered into 3 busses and took off for two old folks home one in Gouyave which had a amazing view of the ocean and all the sail boat out and about..and then we went to Victoria we did singing and a lil devotional it was a lot of fun..singing down here is a lot of fun cuz you can sing as loud and of key and crackly voice as you want!! And then on to Couture falls which was really nice. we walked around in the water and everyone was saying how cold it was but i thought it felt good it def. isn't like fresh ID mountain water...ok so down here is a map that i found online and i circled some point of interest

yellow: Laura, Limes, & LaBoire

purple: were we went sunday

green: the point i went to the second evening i was here

blue: the beach we go on saturdays

ok so lets see

monday: schol and then kids club down the road aways were we had crusades a while ago it is me and Amanda's spot to have it so we will be doing that frequently. it was a nice time although i was rather worn out from the day.

tuesday: school and then a PTA or rather meet all the parents night

wednesday: school and and then went to town and then there was cottage meeting in the eve.

thursday: school and then us staff girls go together for our weekly meal it was at the other girls house this time.

friday (today): school and games class with the students at a guy just up the road me and miss Eberly had to get the games together for that we played doug the ball, and then we split up into two groups the older one on one side of the court and the younger ones on the other side... i organized the game for the older group. we played donkey base or as you all would know it, tree or dare base. this evening us single staff went over to the Foxes for supper and then us girls had to come back for girl club at our house we had 11 girl which i understand was an amazing turn out... it was fun but man am i ready for the weekend and just relaxing. you are busy busy busy here but so far i have been ok and enjoying it. i never was one to always be packing my days but i have not regretted all the things we are doing so that is good....

well i guess that is all i can think of to write right now i have some more pic. here.....

our lovely basket of amazing food... although i'm not sure about the soursop..(the prickly looking thing) me and Natalie wanted to try some but Amanda who had tried it already was kinda hesitant that we by it because she didn't like it but we wanted to try it so we got one. me and Natalie opened it this morning and the smell!!! it smells like body wash which is a nice thing when it is body wash but not when it is food. it rather made us almost gage...we decided we would quietly put it away in the fridge and see if it would appeal to us later i don't know that it will though...rather skeptic. although when it is in smoothies it is good thursday night sarah or lori made soursop & banana smoothies and they were really good. well enough about the soursop. lets see there is pears (avocados) and lots of mangos the yellow red and i think one of the green are mangos.

well here is my class we were waiting to go up to the court for game class. i tried to get them to take a nice pic. but they were all excited about game class and the whole building was noise with cleaning going on so i didn't really succeed.... one of my kids Cyle was sick today so sadly i don't have a pic. of him... but in the back on the right is Renel,(a spunky little girl who also loves hugs and talking) Rebekah, (she and her mother would go to church here she is a very sweet girl) David, ( one of the little 'foxes' (his last name is Fox) very sweet my smart kid, sensitive and has the cutest smile) Darrell, ( is normally a nice boy and loves to please. and loves when i let him do a puzzle.) Shane, ( he is really sweet can be one notice i said one of my clowns and is always wanting to tell me something...miss!..miss!!! he says trying to get my attention over the hub-bub of every one else telling me something) Nella, ( my other talkative girl she is a very funny bubbly girl who takes her little stuffed i dont know what it is a lemurs....the monkey things on madagascar you can actually she her holding it on the pic.) Leadon, ( a boy from Laria he loves to play although i think fitting in with everyone here has been a lil hard for him. it seems some of the boys pick on him but i dont know that he is completely innocent. right now his dad is in the hospital and from what he said his dad broke his back. i would also love if you prayed for me to on knowing how to approach and handle him he is having a hard time with his work sometimes. he can do amazing one day and not so good the next and he seems a lil bitter. he wrote in his math book today instead of working something to the effect of miss you will be sorry someday that you are making me do this work and the other day he wanted to poke someones eyes out and he told me in a very defiant voice that he was stronger then me like he was going to try to prove it right there and then. obviously he is small enough for me to handle and it is what his mind is obviously dwelling on that makes me scared! but all in all he is a nice boy most of the time and loves to have fun! i think lot of it is the stress with his day and changing schools and 2 of his cousins didnt make it into our school so ya im hoping all this will go away....

Nella she wanted me to take passport pics. of everyone...she is taking hers to go to Hawaii

i got here to smile here
