Nate and Kate left this morning. They had gifts for the kids, and we danced the Macarana together last night. There were lots of tears and lots of hugs.
Today, Katherine, our housekeeper, and I buried our grief by cleaning. We took everything out of all the bedrooms on the cooking side of the mission house, sorted through things that needed to go to the orphanage, and put everything back. Then I moved my things into that side of the mission house. I will use my former side to sort Christmas presents.
There's one Angel I hadn't met yet. Charles Marwa, our trade school boarder, showed up at Gamasara tonight. I must say I sort of panicked. I had no Christmas plans for him, and he didn't bring any bed clothes home with him. I scurried around and found him a mattress and sheets.
I must admit I am exhausted! Teddy, one of our staff, said, "There's only Bibi here now, so everyone gathers in her room.
Financial matters are taking most of my time right now. (Not my forte'). I plan to sleep at Gamasara most nights so I can at least finish the day with the kids. Please pray for my patience. I'm spread a bit thin at the moment, and I've been a bit cranky.)
