Fortress Week 7

This week was another short week. We did not have anything to do on Sunday night so I went to Keller and got to hang out with my host family. It was fun. I do not get to see them very much because I work a lot and my hours are normally long.

Monday I went to work, which was hard because I know that, my time is ending there and these kids have found their way into my heart. Anyway, one little girl comes running up asking me where her friend from last week was. She was so confused. She didn’t understand why they weren’t back. It was really sweet. The Highland girls did great and made an impact on the Fortress kids. We had our normal daily routine. It was fun. We roasted marshmallows (pretended) but the kids loved it.

Tuesday we had some down time in the morning, I sat on the floor with the kids, and they were all over me. I felt like a jungle gym but it was fun. Then we had our centers, which was fun. Then we had lunch and had trail mix while we watched Stewart little. One little boy told us that it was Stewart Lewis that we were watching and that he was Stewart Lewis (or rat boy). It was really funny and cute.

I know that this next week will be great but it is going to be hard knowing that I won’t be going back. I love each and every one of those kids so much. We are having fun though. Monday is a water day and Tuesday we are having a carnival. It should be fun and I am glad that I get to be with the kids. :D BUT I know that I will cry when they all go home.
