This week we only taught three days the rest of the week we had a vacation. Teaching is getting better and the kids are starting to get into a routine. It's still a little chaotic most days, but that's what you get trying to teach 35+ young kids.
I've mentioned the trouble with our power before, but this week was way worse.. We had over 36 hours without power to our house and it started to worry us. Even our neighbors were concerned to the point of getting after us for not calling and having someone come look at it. During this time of darkness at our house many creepy things went on. We were informed that this building used to be an orphanage and was closed down. The nights without lights in the house are extremely creepy. One night one of the girls downstairs couldn't sleep, but she swore she could hear little kids playing in the room next to her, which is our supply/ classroom. She said they seemed like good spirits, but spirits nonetheless. At the same time in the other room two girls were having the same dream where little Dominican kids were just standing around and staring at them. They wouldn't more or respond they just stared. Creepy right!? The next day, when we were still in darkness, for some reason they found creepy stories and psych hospital stories to be a good topic of conversation. I found the feeling around when those stories were told to be very unpleasant. There was a point in time I really didn't want to be around it any longer and next thing I know I am sitting in a hammock on the roof listening to hymns and reading scriptures. Hymns can work wonders when it comes to chasing away Satan. I'm really grateful for the power Our Heavenly Father has and his willingness to help us.
You did the right thing Lily.
