First off, let me apologize for this. I know many people have wanted to see pictures, but for some reason I've had lots of problems with my blog. Today though, it's working, so I'm going nuts uploading while it is. A post describing the trip to Dodoma (which some of the pictures are from) will be up later this week. Enjoy! :)
Morningside Hike
Morogro, from the top of Morningside Mountain.
The Lutheran Church at the top of Morningside
My wounds from the fall on the hike. I promise, they've healed!
Ilula
The orphanage girls at Ilula
The United Methodist Church/ IOP Preschool
Me farming, using my feet as a hoe. Upendo is the person in the back, using the actual hoe to dig up dirt. If you suspect that this took a while, it did. We only managed to do nine rows in four hours.
Dodoma
The Dodoma UMC, with the pastor in front.
The inside of the Dodoma Methodist church
The church ladies actually gave us each 2 kangas!
Church was quite the dance party at Dodoma. We had to take videos to capture everything!
And now, for some school pictures!
This is one of the two class buildings. Right now, this is classes I-IV. The other building is basically the same, with one less classroom.
The tan building to the left is the administration building where the head teacher, school manager (Pastor) and secretary work. We call the plants "the flowers".
Listening to our heartbeats in Class VI
Practicing telling time with our newly donated, individual clocks! Thank you so much, they worked great!
I know I said I would never beat a child, but never say never. I don't actually consider this beating, but it took me a while to actually find the right spot on his knee cap, so the poor kid got hit a few times on the top of his shin. Thankfully, I wasn't trying to be too hard, and he was a good sport about it!
I'm so happy I was able to get these up and share a bit of my life here with you all! I heard there was some bad weather back home, so everyone, please be safe!
God bless,
Kjirstin
Sweet Kjirstin! I'll send Margit a copy of the one with the clocks. BTW, the soft spot just below the knee cap works best - feel it with your fingers first. If the leg doesn't move - have them hold their hands together and then ask them to pull them apart - they can't concentrate on doing that and keeping their leg still at the same time - works every time :-) Thanks for the pictures! I love you!
