Tales of South Africa: 2nd day in veldriff, 7th day there

We had an early start this morning, we went to the main school in the village we're at. It started out that we were gonna split up into threes and doing different classrooms, but it ended up that we all would go into the class and do the ministry.
We played some games with the kids and led songs and pretty much had a program that we would do. We did 8th grade, had a break, then 9th grade, another break, then we had the opportunity to go out during their recess.
Recess was intense, I decided to be one of the two people who were doing balloons, so i got mobbed by kids, i was so completely surrounded i barely had room to form the balloons, so i would just blow them up, tie them, then hand it to the first kid in sight, basically there were snakes everywhere. We did 9th grade again after that, then made balloons for a class of adorable kindergartners. We had another break, then headed out into recess again, it wasn't as terrible, I had no balloons this time so i just started out highfiving kids and standing in one place, this little girl from yesterday's ministry comes up to me and is doing the motions to amazing love, so i start singing amazing love super loud and a huge crowd of kids comes around me and sings it with me, then i sang inside my heart and did the same thing it was so bomb.
After another 9th grade class we had to leave, because we had ministry at the church that afternooon and because school was over.
We had lunch then started off the ministry with games, there were so many kids packed in the church it was ridiculous we counted over 240 kids. I did my david and goliath story for them with motions and i did a much better job than last time, I ended up signing SO many kids' arms with a sharpie, i felt like a celebrity.
On the ride home we got to see zebras and a kudu it was so awesome! Dinner was amazing as usual, haha clive knows me a little too well now, he was handing out candy to the team and as he did he said " everybody may have one .. except krista" everybody burst out laughing. We had devotions then debrief, I'm really tired and we have another super early morning tommorrow, this never ends!
