Trust

Hello all! Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. I have been quite busy in the mornings along with hanging out with fellow interns at night. Here are some updates of what has been happening this week. Sunday, I had my first chance to barter!! It was quite fun actually and I got some good items from it. For example, I bought Kung Fu Panda 2 for a dollar! We(Annie, Irene, and I) spent about 4 hours shopping! It was a fun time and I'm glad I did it even if it seemed like I was being mean to the people I was bartering with :) So starting this week and throughout the summer, Annie and I will now be tutoring the Baker boys. The Bakers are the founders of SFCV and have adopted 4 kids from China. I am working with Philip, the youngest of the Baker boys. He is 9 years old and has SOOOO much energy. For example, after he completed some math problems, I gave him 60 seconds of pure freedom which he used by running around a table...enough said. He can be quite a handful but I like the challenge and I am excited to be helping out the Bakers. Also this week and throughout the summer, I will be teaching a preschool class English. It is so different teaching primary to now teaching preschool but all the kids there are of course, ADORABLE, so I can't complain too much.:) We are teaching them the alphabet and having them color pictures. For example, yesterday was the letter A and so they colored an alligator. Which now brings us to today, At 4:30am, I woke up with an upset stomach. I immediately went to the bathroom and just lied down on the floor waiting for it to pass. Sadly from it, I threw up 4 times which felt good at the time but now I have felt gross all day. So now, I have just been sleeping and completely bored! :( I couldn't go to any of my classes today. Oh and I guess everyone knows I threw up here cause when people asked where i was, the kids would tell them I was puking..yeah... But I am trying to look on the brighter side of it. I have been thinking a lot and talking to G about what His plan is for me. I just need to trust in Him and know that He IS IN CONTROL! Maybe I just needed a day to reply more on G...who knows but for now, i am just trusting.
