A day for The Arts & Sports

Ok, last late post (I hope).

Fridays are always so much fun at the school.  Tutoring Misheck went great since we played a game to review multiplication.  Mal taught horticulture in Mama Lala’s class and I sat in on her “lecture,” which was very interesting.  Now I know about grafting plants!  Of course, not on Mal's level.  Cambree finished her Mustang book, so instead of reading we did a horse-themed art project. 

We used her foot to make horse heads, getting very creative with our painting.  

She is so much fun to work/play with!

our paintings we made for each other

 Mama Lala asked me to teach her art class how to draw something and, of course, they asked for me to draw a horse.  After every step each voice in the class would ring out “like this?” in their adorable accents.  Joseph and Mweene are especially good drawers!

LG people, please note the Dr. Miller sponsored soccer jersey - love it!

Mal joined in too!

That afternoon, the girls put on a ballet performance for us.  They danced to "God of Wonders" and they were all so cute in their tutus!

Could they be more precious?

Let them praise His name with dancing... ~ Psalm 149:3

After the ballet recital, we had another Americans vs. Zambians soccer game.  This time we had the Wagoner team to add to our numbers, but we still didn’t stand a chance.  Everyone wanted to play so the mini-sized football field was PACKED.  It may have been a poor display of athleticism on some of our parts (Ok, I’m speaking for myself) but the sportsmanship was 110%.  

Yeah, I kicked it...  Once or twice.

Like I said, the field was FULL.

That night, we sat around the campfire (filled with lanterns because it’s too hot to have an actual fire) and everyone on the team shared their experience from the past week.  It’s a shame that as soon as we got to really know them all they had to go, but it was great to hear about their time at New Day.  We miss you Wagoner team!  You were a joy to share The Ark with and everyone at New Day appreciates all you accomplished while you were here!

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as for the Lord.  Colossians 3:23
