Kroo Bay

Today is Saturday....Kroo Bay day. It was as wonderful as usual. I was sitting on the floor with a kiddo that was sleeping in my arms and snapped a few pics. It is so sweet when you see them standing during worship and nodding off. Sometimes they come in so tired and in need of rest. This little guy was leaning on the bench and dozing. I picked him up and he went fast asleep. I sat down with him during the message and while the eggs were being passed out. The pictures are not the best, but they give you a small window into the sweet faces that I get to see every week.

This Wednesday, sadly, we are going upcountry for 10 days. I am really looking forward to seeing more of Sierra Leone and spending time with Cami, but I am really not excited about the trip. I am going to miss the the kids on the street, the Lighthouse kids, the Zizers, James and Blessing and going to Kroo Bay. We figured out that after we get back from upcountry, we only have 5 Kroo Bays left. That is not a happy thought! *sigh* I am trying to have a good attitude about going. I would be looking more forward to it if it wasn't so long and if our time here in Sierra Leone wasn't so short. Fourth months is not a long time and so a 10 day retreat seems like a big chunk with only 7 weeks left to go. The thought of leaving here is already tearing at my heart, so I want to cherrish all the moments that I can. Alas, there is not much I can do but choose to have a good attitude and to enjoy it. I really am excited that Cami is going with us and so that does give me something to look forward to. I am glad that she is getting away and getting a much needed break!

Okay, SO, back to Kroo Bay..... I have added a couple of the pics from today. I will try to take my camera the next few times to get more pictures. I hope that I can capture a small portion of how awesome worship time is!
