The Zebras


(Kari here) We finished Day 3 at MacKinzie Community School today. When we arrived this morning, they were all lined up (dressed in their shirts from yesterday) shouting "sharks!" -- "meenows!" It was the best greeting EVER!
The youngest kids (a.k.a. Zebras) are a blast! There's about a million of them (seriously). It's a bit ironic that I am the Zebra Herder...given my vast experience with small children (read: zero experience with small children). It is good...very, very good. Kelli taught them a "Zebra Power" cheer -- which we shout with gusto.
Thank you all for praying...it has to make a difference. My heart is happy and full and broken and sad...all at the same time.

Kari,
It is great to see pictures of the trip and smiles on both yours and their faces. God is smiling too. Enjoy the rest of the trip. I hope to talk to you when you return.
