Little Things

I think what makes this experiences so wonderful is all the little things.

• The letters and drawings from all the kids that hang on mine and Taylor's bedroom wall
• Worshiping with the kids each evening
• Playing worship songs on my guitar while all the kids gather around and sing along
• Riding the boda
• Falling asleep across the room from my best friend and partner in crime each night
• Having dirty feet at the end of the day
• Henry's laugh
• Sunday afternoon football matches and proving that I am a better player than Charles
• High fives from the students at the school
• Walking our students home from school
• The bracelets I wear around my wrist that have been made by the kids
• Waving back at the children along the road
• Afternoon walks through the neighborhood
• Deep talks
• Eating dinner together as a family
• Taylor and I dancing with Charles and Henry
• All of Lawrence's little remarks
• "Auntie Kelsey, run for your life!"
• Basically being able to borrow peoples' babies for an hour or two
• Calling pee, susu
• Cassava and chapati
• Being called "Auntie"
• Never having to actually shower and no one caring
• Getting away from the "real world" and experiencing God
