So the past few days have been really good. We've just been spending time playing with the kids, a bit of school and just hanging out.
It's so nice to just relax and enjoy the kids and reflect on everything we have gone through, and enjoy the time we have left.
Lately all the kids (including the boys) have been making us Christmas/ Goodbye cards, they are so cute. I bought them some stickers the other day, they were quite excited about that. They are happy to be going home, but it's also hitting them that some of us aren't coming, so they aren't so happy about that. They are really attached to us. I am going to miss them so much. It's really hitting me this week, they are leaving SO SOON!
I've learned so much on this tour, but I am also really looking forward to spending time in Scotland, and of course, going home to my family and friends.
It's been really cold the past few days, we have had some flurries, but the snow hasn't sticked. The kids are looking out the window constantly, I don't enjoy cold, but I am very anxious to see snow (more for the kids to see it though) They are praying everyday for it to come. I've seen ice, but there wasn't any today.
Stacie brought our team some Kraft Mac N Cheese from Texas, we are enjoying it now. Sometimes you don't realize how much you miss something, it was so good. There are a lot of things I will miss here though. Some are:
- Snack a Jacks - Salt n Vinegar (they are just mini rice cakes, but they are so good)
- Mueller Fruit in the Corner Yogurt - Strawberry or White Chocolate Raspberry, although most flavours are good (quite like fruit on the bottom, yogurt just tastes better here)
- Chocolate- Galaxy, Cadbury Twirl, Mars Delight the list goes on...
- being in a car on the other side of the road
- old beautiful churches
- Edinburgh, Belfast and London
- Primark (store a lot like Ross)
- Nando's in Belfast
- the different accents
There's many more, I will add as I remember
Things I love about my tour:
- being with cute South African kids all day, every day
- having devotions with the kids in the morning
- being involved in school and seeing the kids learn, seeing how much English they have learned in the past 7 months, seeing their confidence grow each and every day
- having the kids knock on your door when they are scared or have a problem with something and being able to comfort them
- having a great team that gets along and has fun together
- traveling so often and getting to see so many countries
- sitting with a different child on the bus and taking photos
- staying with great host families
- going to Dubai and Germany and all that was with that
- listening to the kids on the bus
- watching the kids play and playing with them
- waking the kids up in the morning and saying goodnight
- hugs!
Again, there is much more, and I will add to this
