Dumela Everyone!
We are finally getting all settled in with our daily routines. We both were assigned to a baby house watching over about 15 children. We start at 7 in the morning serving breakfast to the kiddos. At 8 the older children go to an English Medium preschool and primary school right near campus. Then Jesse and I hang out with the infants, feeding, playing, and putting them down for a nap in each of our houses. Once lunch is done, all the kids rest up and then head out to playgroup. During playgroup the kids run around outside playing on the toys, showing off their soccer skills, and soaking up all the hugs they can get. After about an hour and a half the kids go back to their houses for baths, dinner, and playtime. Bedtime is usually around 6 or 7 and then we say goodnight to the housemoms. By the end of the night Jesse and I are pretty tired. We have so much respect for the housemoms. They do a wonderful job and love the kids very much! One of my favorite parts of the day is to watch the children say their prayers before they eat. It just reminds me that God is the one who created these precious children and he provides for every one of their needs.
