October 28th

Thankfully, we're feeling much better and on the road to recovery from our fevers. About 10 other kids are still sick, lots of fevers and cold, but they all seem to recover quickly. We had enough energy to start field work again this morning. We fed the adorable baby cows and collected stones in the field with GP. Then we did a lot of onion peeling. This was interrupted by everyone sprinting to collect the kids' clothes when rain started to fall. It's very good to see rain, and has been raining on a off for most of the day- we definitely need it here! Everyone was smiling and happy to see it come. After kitchen work we did laundry, and were able to have the clothes dry for a few hours until we had to sprint out to get our own clothes before they got soaked in the rain. With another brilliant dental floss contraption we managed to eventually hang it all up inside after many failed attempts.

When the kids came home it was" ball playing, monkey in the middle playing, chess playing and Uno playing sister!!" After prayer we taught English to the elementary school and 6th grade girls. We went over Snow White vocab words and then had them do a test on it- including words scrambles, labeling pictures and finishing the sentences. Some girls, like Nagehwari, are very bright and remembered most of the word. Some girls, like Sathya, found it difficult to even just read the words on the test paper. We corrected each test individually and had them read it all out loud. At the very least, we're improving on differentiating been P, D, B, G, and T!
