The Boat races were a lot of fun. We spent 3 days of watching kids on a sugar high, that was entertaining. Since that we have been busy with the boys and Kai and I have been getting involved with some of the other ministries here. Last week I was able to go out with a dental team, I was the flashlight holder. I got to see everything cuz I had to make sure that the dentist could see the tooth he was working on. It was fun but it was hard to breathe through a mask with the humidity, I survived. We went out to a village about 3 and a half hours away. It was a bumpy ride and sometimes we weren’t sure the van could make it. In the end, we got there and back without having to leave it behind. So basically all day we pulled teeth cuz there isn’t much you can do when the teeth are past a certain point or they would require too much after care that can not be provided so they are pulled and the people are just happy that it doesn’t hurt anymore. Also I visited a safe house for women and children who are coming out of human trafficking. When I first got there they were very excited and asked if I was the American English teacher so I said well I can try. So I will be teaching them English. Please be praying for them, they are going through a lot of transitions right now. This week I have not been back yet because they are moving. They found a new house for them to live in because they were having trouble with the guy next door. Today is Thanksgiving, so Happy Thanksgiving to you all. It is weird cuz for us it just seems like any other day. The kids went to school and we had bible study and all the stores are open!!

Please be praying for the next couple of weeks they will be busy for us. Also I need prayer
that the Lord would show me what I am supposed to do when I get home and that I would not lose sight of what the Lord has taught me while I have been here or what he has promised for my future. I also will need a job so there is a lot to pray about. Thank you all so much for caring enough to check on me and pray for me. It has really been a huge blessing.
See you all in a couple of weeks.
Eat some Chocolate pie for me!! (AWWW Aunt Kristie I missed making bread with you this morning)
