A mouse in the house

We arrived at Top Hill for John and anyone else that wanted to help make desk's for the school. The others helped organize and take class pictures and individual pictures. Just as we finished taking pictures of Kinder it began to rain and then a down pour. We all rushed into a class room. Where we waited for the rain to stop. The students in the class were still being taught, until it began to rain harder, then it became difficult to hear from the rain hitting the metal roof top.
When the rain began to slow up then the men went to a covered area to start on the desks once more. Then we were called in to a class room for lunch. We are so grateful for their sweet hospitality. While we ate the rain stopped. After lunch we were able to start class picture & individual pictures. We completed primary 3 and by then it was already time to go. We left Top Hill to take Women's Pastor Irene home. Once we arrived to drop her off, she offered us to come in and see her home. What a privilege it was. To see her beautiful home.
From there a few of us we able to visit the children's home and see our sponsored kids. They taught us hand games and their favorite thing was to say statue and you had to freeze. Then they would day "over" for you to unfreeze. So funny. Enjoyed hearing them laugh. It was raining when we were dropped off and it continued to rain during our stay. We were all in the cooking area to stay dry.
When it came time to leave we had to walk down the road a bit to get on our bus. The road was so muddy and slippery. We were all slipping and sliding down the street. Laughing all the way to the bus.
We came home to a lovely surprise....a mouse! Not who I wanted to be roommates with tonight. We asked the front desk if they could help us catch it, so they stuck the squeegee under the bed to try and lure it out. Mission failed. It's still hiding in our room, it will probably crawl all over us while we sleep. Here's to hoping we make it till the morning.

Vicki, I know you will want to bring your 4-legged cute friend home with you. But you must resist. He could eat you out of house and home! :)
