We Have Water!

• So the water in our house is on today...it's so nice to be able to wash your hands after you go to the bathroom. i've become very used to using hand sanitizer and baby wipes lately. actually most days since we can't take a shower, we wipe off with baby wipes. nice, huh? we received a new MST today, Patrick, from Germany. we are gathering quite the international team. but Julie is leaving on Saturday and Virginia next week.
  
• So today we taught about self esteem and pressures to look good. we did comparisons between african and american culture. the kids thought it was hilarious when julie and i said it's popular to have long thin legs and that are big calves were not highly regarded. apparently in africa men pay a higher dowry for women with big calves. man i would be worth a lot here! we talked about 1 Peter 3:3-4 where it says that God looks at the inside of us, not the outside. we did acroustic poems with them where they had to use the letters of their names and write positive qualities about themselves. they loved using the markers.
