Fireworks!

Last evening was filled with fun, food and fireworks. I didn't know if I was going to see any fireworks, but a few Roman Candles and sparklers did the trick. They were just enough to get us all in the mood to be thankful American citizens.

I found out today that it is rather difficult to dive for a volleyball while wearing a skirt. I don't know why I thought it would be easy, but I tried anyway.

Tonight was the first official night of the New Hope Institute of Childcare and Families. It is a 5-month course that equips us to better serve fatherless children. It breaks down worldview and exposes a Biblical worldview - which I am very excited about. And so much more. This is the 14th class to have gone through the course and I believe it is the smallest yet, which I think is going to be a good thing. I am looking forward to getting to know my classmates better (which are all New Hope staff members) and learn from them as we learn together.

Update on the dreams - nothing that I remember last night, but I just took my malaria medication, so we will see what transpires tonight - could be epic!
