Sweet Dreams

Today I woke up at 6:30am to go out with Frank and Linds to a hatchery to see chicks. I guess Linds and I are equal because once Frank passed me a chick, it crapped/pissed on my hand. I still prefer what happened to me. But Linds and Frank had a good laugh. It was like warm piss, and chunks on my hand. Ugh, so nasty. Other than that the hatcheries were quite cool. We saw all the stages. We saw the incubator. Once they are done with that stage, they are put in plastic drawers where they will hatch eventually. After a few days, you will be able to pull out the same drawers and they will be full with the chicks. Once we returned home we had a quick breakfast of toast, and I was off to school.
The day began with chapel. A man came in and talked to the kids. Miss. Tine said that he was her teacher when she was young. Once again, God spoke to me. The man talked about how God can speak to us through dreams. We can have bad dreams because Satan is attacking out thoughts. Our mind is vulnerable at night, we need to pray for God to protect our thoughts so that we don't have bad dreams. He talked about how not all dreams are true, so if we feel God is speaking to us, then we need to pray about it to see if it's God's will. I began to think about my own dreams. Personally, I value sleep so much. I love it. Anyways, well I am now praying that God would speak to me through my dreams. I am praying that I would have the faith to believe if God would speak to me in a dream. It is pretty cool how this verse applies to 3:24, which I have been praying for myself every night. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

After this, the day was pretty standard: marking, addition flashcards with Evelin (Neili was sick), napping on the bench, and reading with Jaclyn. Although things began to turn around for lunch. I had an amazing lunch of 2 Hershey almond kisses, a sandwich, cool ranch chips, and an orange. Mmm. After that I took Kenya's invite and I joined in for volleyball. It was soo much fun. I can't explain it. I just loved it. Although after lunch I was soo hot. And I think I tanned my feet. They are so dark now. I ended the day by doing some typing for Miss. Tine. I typed up words and a song for Michelle.

When I got home, Linds and I decided that we would make dinner. Bertha makes it every day, and she had asked if we would cook a meal for her. Even though she has been in Canada, she wants to try something we would eat. So Linds and I kicked her out of the kitchen and got to work. We ended up making pasta with sausage and toast. The sausage was really good, the pasta was okay, and the toast was good.
After dinner, our conversations led to Frank's motorcycle. He asked if we wanted to ride it. We said yes, but Bertha thought it would be too dangerous. So we settled for going to one of their daughter's to ride their quad. It was awesome! At first I rode on the back while Linds drove, then we switched. Then we were allowed to take it on the road, and then I got to ride by myself on the road. Like I said, it was soo fun. I want one now. When I returned with the quad, Bertha's daughter's son asked if we wanted to take turns riding on the back of his bike. Once again, we said yes, and then Linds was off. I got to ride after. That was also really fun.

Once we got home, we decided that since it was our last night there, that we would come back downstairs in an hour for popcorn. They are soo sweet. When we came down, Frank and Bertha had a tray full of popcorn, chocolate marshmallow sticks, wafer cookies, milk, and coffee. They took us to their park on their property. We would never had known. Frank had done it all himself with all the cement and homemade benches. It was so pretty. We just sat there chatting in this beautiful scenic park. It was a really nice moment with them. What can I say... they actually love us. Frank has called us “our girls” and Bertha has said she loves us. I know they are going to miss us so much.
