Friday-Saturday, during which we have our first Christmas pageant rehersal!

Friday was pretty basic. I figured out how to do the “making Excel turn a cell red if the value goes below a certain number,” and so I had Amanuel put the minimum he wanted of each drug in, and then configured the document for each drug. Yesterday, Nabon (Amanuel’s youngest son…he is 6), was sick, so Anisha read to him and then we played Uno. Today, he was sick too, so we drew pictures with him, and taught him some body parts and he wrote them all out. He is brilliant. He knows the ASL alphabet forward and backward (well, not literally, but he knows all of the letters super well), and fingerspelt all of the body parts. AND he knew them after the going through it ONCE! I cut up the pumpkin and boiled it, so now we have more mashed pumpkin from which we can make pumpkin bread and pumpkin cookies. Well, it might not be a pumpkin, but we are going to use it as such.
On Saturday, we had our own Sabbath school, then joined everyone else for church. Potluck was good (as usual!). Theeen, we prepared (aka prayed) for Pathfinders. It actually went really well! There were a few cast changes because of absent people, but it should all be okay. Doh my third graders were one for three! Fantu and Meseret did not show up. Neither did the guy I cast as Joseph. BUT Cameron practiced We Three Kings with the… three kings… and I went over the first three scenes. Afterward, they went to play volleyball, and Cameron and I went out to play. It was really fun. Samson and I made quite a team. Someone fed China chat for lunch… he was insane! It also must be a full moon, because near the end, everyone started going crazy! It was so funny. We had a great time. At one time, it was Samson and I against… everyone else. I was very confused. They fixed it, though. At one point, Alemayo kicked the ball, and it hit China’s head… as he was climbing one of the volleyball posts. So his nose crashed into the post and he started to cry. As bad as I felt for him, it was super funny. Wobenesh learned “I love you” which is cool because she is awesome. I love these people.
We also talked to Hareg, and she is going to try to see if the lady who runs the sewing room here at the Learning Village to go with us when we buy fabric for the Christmas pageant. Anisha’s neighbors get here Wednesday, then they leave the day Cameron’s family arrives (the 23rd), and then Meredith and Curtis! Yay!
Bedddd time.
