Randy, Richard & Me
John and girl
Davis & Me
This morning, we were at another school. We were teamed up in our pairs and Randy and I were together with Richard. We tried to confuse the poor kids!! We told them that Richard was from Groveland. Later, when they didn't understand us, he translated and that made them question where he was really from!! It was great!!! Also, the question of the week was: Do you eat chihuahua? To us, that's a dog. To them, it's pumpkin leaves. It's a fun reminder of the differences between the languages. They did sing their national anthem for us. They asked if we would sing ours for them....I drew a blank. I could only get to the middle of the song. I couldn't come up with the beginning. Randy, didn't know it either. We called in reinforcements and 10 other American's came in and helped us sing our national anthem. Whew...Ask me any time and I could tell you how it starts, put me on the spot in Zambia, can't remember it. IT was pretty cool!! We also had one of our kids explain the Wordless Book to the teachers. Each of the schools we were at received several Wordless Book Soccer Balls. We wanted to make sure the teachers knew what the colors meant before we left them.
Due to transportation issues, we didn't have a bus this afternoon. We spent the afternoon relaxing and packing. Can't believe we leave tomorrow to go home!! These 2 weeks go by too quickly!!!
