It's HOT!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! It is really hot in Vanuatu. Here is what I have been up to in the last few weeks.

This was taken in December. This is the view from another village.

I went on a stroll with these two!

This is the island of Emau!

My auntie and I before I left for Fiji!

Could he be any cuter!

Lunch is served!

It is so good!

When I got back from holiday, Mama wanted to make a broom.

Final product!

My mess!

For about three weeks, many politicians came to the island to give talks and get votes. My papa was helping one of them, so when his campaign came to the island they slept at our house! Fulup men!

We helped serve the food!

One of the politicians came in a helicopter!

Voting day is here! Friday, January 22nd!

He was giving directions to the men that were serving in the booth!

They are ready for their voices to be heard.

They are first to vote in our village.

The first man to vote!

They voted!!! They don't get a sticker they get ink on their thumb!

This little girl has been staying with me while my Mama and Papa have been working in Vila. Her name is Sharon and she likes to do what I do. Guess what I was doing?

In my village, they hosted a 2-day kids camp.

We walked the village to collect the kids.

Love this sign!

Opening Prayer

Human Knot!

I did a sessions with my counterpart from Kamp GLOW/BILD. Our activity was Making Decisions!

They have to decide their future!

Once they decided their is an activity they have to complete in order to move to the next step. 

Each decision we make in our life will dictate what happens next in our life.

We should always consult God first!

Our life is what we make it!

I got a present for helping with the camp!

Musical Chairs

Another speaker, this young girl goes to USP in Fiji and she came to talk about ways you can go to college. It was an amazing talk!

This is my classroom this year. I will be helping with Class 4.

My Auntie and I drinking Kava after a long day at work! She makes my heart happy!

The sky was beautiful! This picture does not get it any justice. Sorry!

School has finally started. I am excited for the new year. I will be working with Class 4 on phonics and English with my counterpart Ms. Daniel! She takes really good care of me! Then in the afternoons, I will have computer classes with Class 7&8 with my new counterpart for the lab. This is exciting has this is all new to me. I have a couple of website and Facebook projects for businesses in the village. I am also starting a Mama's Computer Class soon. I have also signed up to be in charge of social events for the school. I will be hosting a back to school dance in the next two weeks. Hope it goes well. Time to teach these kids the Cha Cha. In addition to this, I will be helping out on Sundays in children's church. So I am hoping to stay busy.

In my downtime, I am still reading a lot and hanging out in the village. My favorite time is drinking Kava with my Auntie. We always have good conversations and she loves God so much! I am finding my way with God and can't wait to see where He will lead me this year.

Well that is all I have for now. Working on a few post for later. Miss you all and love you!

13 months in, 14 months to go!
