emotional smotional

this morning Jody and I skipped church because 9/10 times it isn't in english. and guess what? today it was.. oh well. we made ourselves some porridge and drank coffee. it is weird but the simple joy of cooking something yourself after always getting served is great. everyone came home and jody and i pulled out the craft supplies. Navya and Sangheta love crafts!!! We made picture books, more envelopes, colored and just let our creative juices flow. We've had some issues with the sharing aspects but it is mostly really good. sangheta gets really pouty when there is no pictures to cut out, and getting her out of that phunk can be a bit hard.. but it's ok.

i have been a bit emotional today. one girl in particular has been really aggressive and rude toward jody and i. we just really want to give them a schedule they will enjoy and she just always seems unsatisfied. as well, they don't really see our place of authority. they call us "sisters" and the people they really show obedience to uncle/aunt. which is fine, we are like sisters. but we are planning and here for them. i just hope that they can show us respect. plus with the language barrier it makes this far more difficult relationally. we have fun with the girls, but to get deep is very hard. the older girls have just been wonderful and very encouraging. so days like this, i am super thankful for them. i know it will probably just be a day or two, so i'll keep pressing on. hha. it really is no big deal. just a little emotional today...(tends to happen when you travel)

to finish the night we went to town with patma, an older girl, to get some study notes. all the girls got their exam marks and 6/80 failed. this is not good. last year 100% passed. on the marks it shows that math is the huge weak point, so that will be something we will be working on. but 4/5 dorm girls passed, and one even made it in the high class of marks! woo.

thanks for the prayers. personally you can pray that i find a job this summer. i know God will provide so just that i have patience in what that job may be. for the home you can pray that the girls will show respect and open up to us. most days are great, but just that we could understand why some days are so bitter. (and i erally don't want to make it sound like it is horrible, it was just a touchy day) as well pray for the girls who went home on holidays that they would be safe and have a great time with their families. i don't know the single situations of the homes...
yep. thanks again.
God bless.
