Yesterday we were able to talk to our little world traveler and I think she is about ready to come home. Grandma says they have given away all their soccer balls, jump ropes, and shoes. They have soiled all their clothes and they are afraid they are going to stink on the plane, but they have worked hard and had a wonderful time.
They were able to tell me about craft day yesterday. It seems it rained and Lydia and I had had some craft kits donated to us by a wonderful woman named Jennie Dudley, who runs the Eagle Ranch Ministries. When she found out about what Lydia was doing she donated a whole bunch of craft kits to the trip. Well yesterday was the day for them. They said with all the rain it was a breath of fresh air and a wonderful day with all the projects to work on. Lydia also taught kids how to do finger weaving with yarn. The rain didn't ruin the day.
How many eleven year olds say that. I had to smile.
She has had a wonderful time serving and today she enjoyed the goods of the people but we have sure missed being with this sweet girl and will be excited for her to come home tomorrow.
