Day... uh, 4?

I actually had to ask earlier what day it was.

It's only day 4 and I'm already having trouble remembering, just wait for 2 weeks from now.

Anyway, we've spent most of everyday so far at Sascu, I forgot my camera yesterday so I didn't post anything, it's boring without pictures.

Today we started the day with French toast and bacon, yum much? 

Then we met up with out friend Aisha and we went to the market, it was the first time I'd gone to an African market, we bought fruit and meat for dinner tomorrow. 

(No pictures from there, it was quite the experience but having my camera out would not have been a good idea)

We went back to Sascu and started by painting toenails, and more toenails, and more toenails....

More kids kept showing up to have their toenails painted! 

Eventually we had to take a break, there were just so many kids there!

After that we took a few of the girls inside and gave them dresses and headbands and hats to wear and took them outside and took pictures of them for their sponsor profiles.

Each of these girls is a happy, smiling, playful, fun loving little girl. 

Yes, they're stories are sad, they're pasts aren't pretty, but each of them could tell you what their favorite subject in school is, what they like to do, and loves to pick out dresses to dress up in.

We had 7 young girls in one room, dressing up and putting headbands and things on, they sounded exactly like any little girls in America would, they were having so much fun!  

Just because they're pasts are ugly, doesn't mean they're any different than any child you'd meet in the U.S. 

I love these little girls so much, they're so sweet and loving and amazing little girls.

When we left, each of the kids hugged us repeatedly and said bye a hundred times, even though we told them over and over we are coming back tomorrow! 

Jeff even climbed in the car! He's a cutie. :)

We'll be taking more pictures of the other kiddos tomorrow (We need to get more clothes for the little boys)

Tomorrow all the kids will be home from school, so most likely there will be a ton of kids there.
