Today was my first day back at CS in about a week and it was a very busy day. The group of kids left today (which was nice, but at the same time sad cause they were really opening up to the gospel, but in a way I’m kind of glad to see them go) and so with the other guests checking out we had 75 beds to make. I took our largest 18 bed room by myself and my other 2 bed cleaners did the rest. I am very proud of myself for doing the whole room, but it was so difficult. It was full of all the kids, so when I looked in for the first time there was just trash everywhere!!!!! I grabbed the vacuum cleaner and vacuumed the middle between the beds and then lay on my belly and scoop the trash out from under the beds. I think I said “Eeww!” about a million times today. But it took me what felt like 30 minutes just to vacuum one room. I told everyone that I felt like Grandma on the last day of church camp, sweeping under all the beds and asking who belonged to what. It was definitely a good experience, even though I’m completely exhausted.
Today we also went walking around/shopping and the best part was we walked by a US & British Food Shop. So of course we had to walk in. There are that many things that I miss from home yet, but the biggest thing is syrup! The syrup here is terrible and we have pancakes all the time. So today I bought 2 mountain dews and a bottle of aunt jemima. It was kind of expensive, but I didn’t care. Now I’m going to act like my brother and carry a bottle of syrup with me wherever I go, and get it out when people aren’t looking. LOL!!!!! Love you Kail!!!!!
But I was so excited about my purchase that I took a picture of it. :)
Also here is a picture of our "Finner Things Club"....and yes it's like the Office. :)
It's been raining the last few days, which has made it cold here, so we have parties and drink fancy tea. It's so nice. :)
