It was not only the children of Leonora who enjoyed having their nails painted!

First day of the kids club over, to say the least we are exhausted! But had such a great time meeting all the kids, getting to know them, organising group crafts and activities with them, getting into some singing and dancing, and becoming familiar with what the week ahead will bring! It was an early morning start for the team to prepare for the day ahead, luckily though we finally had multiple showers!! So with Ebuka's 10 toasts, and Simon's multiple packets of mi-goreng devoured, we were off to the rec center to set up! The kids arrived as soon as the doors were opened and it was off into our separate age groups to get started with some activities.
It was an eventful day full of many things. My stomach muscles were still sore from laughing so hard last night. And today has been full of sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much laughter. Tonight we have again laughed so much telling stories ranging from our funniest injuries to what happens when you make your younger siblings angry.
Anyways.... To get back on track we had our first session today with the little kids from all around town. It was quite eventful. It started with an introduction to the colour coded groups that we had and then Jaz and I had to do our introduction talk. AHHhhhhhh. It was scary!
I love so many of the little children there and I wish I could adopt them all but it will never happen. I no longer do care if I come back with nits or anything else because they are all so pretty and beautiful. Again I wish I could adopt them all.
I had many little followers throughout the day, some talking a lot and some talking little but their presence was lovely to be around. Jaz and Simon were in my group and he soon was loved by two little boisterous girls who called him Mount Simon and climbed all over him. I don't think he was quite prepared for their very possessive love for him! In the afternoon we did face painting, nail painting, biscuit decorating and colouring which was great fun. The little children (like 3-4 years old) were the cutest and just sat their smiling at you. The evening was a movie night where both parents and children were invited and it was great fun as well. I still am praising the Lord that we have access to hot showers and yummy food!!!! Although you get really hungry even before lunch is getting prepared.
Much love to our parentals and siblings, and all who are joining in listening to our journey here in Leonora,
