number two tuesday continued...

It is overwhelming at times to be surrounded by people, both the leprosy affected patients and the kids that you want to give all of your love to. At family time, for example, there are about 25 girls ages five to 13 in my family. All of them want to be loved so much. You can just feel their thirst for love and you only have so much you can give. You can only talk to one girl at a time and you only have two hands to play with one little girl’s hair, you can only read to a couple of the girls at a time.... They have a lot of love to give though, which makes it easy to continue to try and give more in return.
The boys took us over to the bike shed that they have here during play time. They ended up being one short, so Michael did not get one. He was really sad at first until he and I decided to play in a pile of garbage nearby the school. Sounds weird, but there were computer parts in there that he loved taking apart… we didn’t stay too long because I had a feeling that there was probably a scorpion or snake living in the pile of rubble…yikes! We decided to have races instead!
