Oh I totally forgot to say that on Sundays we break up into groups and go to different churches around the north side of the island. I got put in the church that we actually go to for worship on Monday and Friday mornings in Haiku (about a 5 min drive). I got assigned to help with Pre-Schoolers! So fun yet so crazy! I will have more stories from there after this Sunday because last Sunday was my first day. But I did get slapped by a troubled foster kid :( it's okay though, I love him anyways. Please pray for him and his brother and 2 sisters who are all foster kids too (they are not related, just have the same foster parents). It is really obvious that they were raised in a rough environment, the youngest one is a sweet little 4 year old girl and she is JUST learning how to talk. It broke my heart. Her name is Jaysia, please pray for her. Thanks guys.
OH and I heard a little more about Borneo...
1) I will not be able to contact anyone back home while I am gone.
2)Dog is a delicacy there and you can't say "no" when offered food...
3)There are spiders that eat birds...imagine the size of them...
4)I will be bathing and washing my clothes in brown rivers
5)I will get to be ministering to kids ALL DAY LONG and doing church services at night, which includes doing worship AND giving sermons!
I AM SOOO EXCITED!!!! Seriously, I don't even care about the dog and spiders and river bathing, BRING IT ON! I love my team and my leaders and I can't wait to tell the love story of my life (Jesus DUH) ha love you guys.
