Yesterday was yet another awesome day at the slum school. We were teaching the itty bitties all about the letter A so we were spelling simple words with the letter "A" and had them tell us which letter was which. Julie wrote the word "cat" on the white board and pointed to each letter individually. C-A-YISU BABA! because a lower case t looks like a...yep you guessed it! Such smart itty bitties! Julie, another teacher, and I cracked up ALL day about it! The children are so precious and I just can't get over the funny little things that come out of their mouths! Made beautifully in the image of God.
After the school was over yesterday one of my absolute favorite itty bitties, Chiru came running down the beaten path towards the school and I scooped him right up! When my friends from the US were here a few weeks ago there was one day when he came into the class absolutely beaming. I knew something was up! It wasn't a mischievous look, but a look of pure joy. I asked the national teacher to translate what he was saying. He said his momma had a baby the night before and he was now a big brother!! He could not stop smiling; he was so incredibly proud! So every so often I ask him "chota bonn ko thai" which means "where is you little sister?" He would smile and say "bari" in his house. So when I grabbed him up as I was leaving the school he directed me towards his house and I met his mother and his chota bonn! She was incredibly gorgeous and absolutely adorable. Seeing the whole story come full circle was awesome.
