Lice Week and Lovely Weekend

Hello everyone! well, what a wonderful week it's been! it was lice cleaning week at ANIJA, so for a couple days we went through all the classes checking for lice, and then washed the ones that had it. we set up a little station outside of the team house on campus, and jessi, josie, leslie and i got going with the washing. seriously, sometimes i felt like a monkey, picking through their hair looking for little moving things. hahaha. but we were actually pleasantly surprised by the amount of kids we had to do, probably only about 20-so had it, out of like 200 kids, so that was really good!

let's see, what else? a lot happened this week......we celebrated Dia de los Reyes, or King's Day, so we gave the kids presents and candy. they absolutely loved it, here's a lot of pictures of them and their gifts. these are, by the way, the gifts that i spent like a month wrapping, there were about 150 or so, and now they're finally out of the sponsorship office! : ) thanks to the people who sent those for the kids. other than that, i'm afraid i don't have a ton else to say, except that God continues to be good, and work in the lives of the children and missionaries here. this weekend jessi and i got to go to santiago for a little shopping, and there have a been a few teams here this week, so it's nice to relax after the busyness. i will continue to pray that God is doing his work in all your lives, and thank him for the work he's doing in mine. have a beautiful week of praising and serving Him in everything you do, and God bless!!
