All the other volunteers left on Saturday the 19th in the afternoon. That night as I was walking to the boys house, I almost started to cry. I was all alone!! But the second I got near the boys house, Anshuman screamed, "Mam, are you lonely?" Followed by a parade of questions...
What is this?
What is that?
When are you leaving?
When are we going to do our holiday homework?
I need paper!!!! No, No, I need white paper. Chart Paper!!!
I need lice shampoo, my head is itching.
Even though having all the girls here is such a blessing and when school is going on. I now know that I CAN DO this. I thought that I needed the girls, but I am selfish and I love having all the boys to myself, if only for a little bit.
They were so cute, I came in and the tackled me. They told me all about their families, which they never talk about. They said, " we are supposed to talk about our families, right?" It is really cool to hear them open up.
I am keeping myself busy. I got back into gardening, which I love to do. You gotta see this place. It is a process but they let me do anything so I am loving it.
I am off the week to the beautiful beaches of Goa. Please Pray that I use this time to really pray about where God is leading me. I seem to always be busy, I really need time to stop and quite down. You all know that I can busy myself in a box.
