We were very busy today! Lots of places in a very short amount of time! First was the feeding program at 7. We left the apartment at 6. It was VERY windy today. It was making me very angry because I had my hair done for church (LOL), and plus wind gives me a headache. It was also kinda chilly this morning. It was probably 75 degrees but it still kinda felt cold. The people here were wearing stocking caps and gloves.
Dara was shivering! John said that there were 1620 people at the feeding program this morning! WOW!!! And every single one of them got at least one package of ramen noodles and more than half of them got 2. When everyone got there food, some of the older girls wanted me to play the piano and sing for them. They like the song As The Deer. I played it for them and then Tree (one of the older boys) came and listened. Then he played the guitar and I played the piano. He is really good but he didn’t think so. But that is only because Jeremiah is his brother. Jeremiah is…. Well he is amazing! As good as Fred but 12 years old.
This is Bopar And Nita. nita is my favorite little girl ever!! And she loves me! they are sisters and they have another sister that is there. Her name is Lakena. Bopar was telling me a story of how she had 6 sisters and 2 brothers. but a mean man took a knife and killed her older brothers heart. I didnt really know what to say to that. After waiting for Dara to show up on his tuk tuk for about 20 minutes we went to the Olympic market and bought more shoes for the other orphanage. From there we walked to church. They had told me that it had a disco ball inside, but I really didn’t know what to expect. I LOVED IT!!!!! There worship, wow, I have never seen anything like it. It was almost literally a mosh pit. People were up in the front jumping and dancing. They had a dance team that danced during the worship. It was AMAZING!! I will go to that church when I live here!! But really I am serious, I am going to live here. Well I guess that is Gods choice, but I hope that it is His will for me to live here. Amber said that if she lived here she would just sell stuff on eBay for money. And I told her that she saved my bacon because I couldn’t figure out what I would do here for money if I lived here. Now I know. If you ask me, it seems to all be falling into place!!! J When we were done there, we went out to eat. I had a headache and I was starving since I only got 2 pieces of toast for breakfast this morning. We were out of food! James told me that I eat more that he has ever seen anyone eat before. I told him that I learned that from my mom!! LOL! I had prok fried rice there, it was really good. But when I ordered, I ordered an extra plate of white rice just incase I didn’t like the pork fried rice. When I was done with the pork fried rice I asked our waiter for some soy sauce. He brought it to me, it was in a little bowl thing. I poured it on my rice and it kinda smelled funny, but I tried it anyways. Turns out, it was NOT soy sauce. It was fish sauce. It was literally the worst thing I have ever tasted in my life! I told them that I was sorry but I had to spit it out. So I did. They all laughed at me. They said that with fish sauce you only use a few drips. But silly me thinking it was soy sauce dumped the whole thing on. IT WAS SOOOO GROSS!!!!! I will never be the same!!! I would rather live in the meat market at orasay than taste that again!! Mom if you think I didn’t like fish then, it is now 100x worse!!!! When we were done there we went to the other orphanage and made bags with them. Im falling in love with those kids also. How will I ever leave here?
The little boy that is holding up 3 with his fingers, i think that he thinks that is a sign you make with your fingers. Because all of the others were doing peace, so he held up 3 fingers!! FUNNY!! He is so cute and sweet!! When we got back here, we ate spaghetti! IT WAS SOOO GOOD!! NORMAL FOOD!!! Oh ya, I went in my room to find an empty gum pack laying on my bed. I asked kenden if he ate it and he said yes. There was like 8 pieces in it and he ATE all of it! No he didn’t just chew it, he chewed it and swallowed it!!! It was hilarious!!!
