Day 13: The adults are gone!!!!

On day 13 Grace and Pastor Kenny left with all the HOM staff for a full day retreat leaving the rest of the team, Susan, translators, and teen helpers to continue on the discipleship camp. We were also missing Erik and Aryrom as they were sick this week and were quarantined in a separate room. They had to wait till Friday before they were freed :)

Since they loved Pip, Squeak, and Wilbur so much we played it one more time that day!

At the storybook station the kids started to put their book together with the photos they took the day before.

During the afternoon we got the kids to make a surprise encouragement notes as well as their favourite moments for each of the teachers/staff.

... We also got the kids to sign our apron ;)

For dinner everyone including the cooks got a break as we ordered 25 pizzas!!!!

The kids loved it!!

... Adding hot sauce...

During the dinner we gave the staff the special notes the kids wrote for them!

I am sure these notes will be treasured for many years to come...

After dinner the kids decided to catch bees... ummm yes bees....

... And then we had an olympic gymnastic try out....

Everyone here is so flexible and strong...

Koala doing a skewer twist!

In the meantime Pastor Kenny played with chairs...

And got a new hair style.

As day 13 passed everyone realize our time here is running low... Lots of us had become very attached to many kids here, while a few of us has been very much enjoying playing soccer with the kids in the evening... I haven't done so much sports and outdoor activities in 2 weeks for a very long time...
