We had a ball!

Our internet has not been working lately so we haven't been able to write to you. Right now I am up at the computer lab hoping that the internet here is working well enough to send this out. We had a wonderful day yesterday. It was Emma's birthday. She is so special and we wanted to do fun things for her all day long. She had a special breakfast and got to go to the pool and then in the evening we had all of her girlfriends over for a party. The girls were to come in their party dresses because they were told there might be a ball. When they arrived they were treated to a makeover by some of the local 8th grade girls. After that they were invited into the ball. Garth and I tranformed our ping pong room with Christmas lights and plants and tulle etc. and the girls had a "royal" meal, Garth and Wyatt did a fun game about a letter from the King being hidden in the room and the girls had to find it, and then 2 of our Seniors taught them a dance. It was so much fun. Once our internet starts working I will load some pictures.Overall, we are doing pretty well here. Our days are full, just like yours-the biggest challenge is keeping up with 14 kids, but I am slowly getting the hang of it all. Right now we have one kid in Bali, one sick, 5 Seniors trying to keep focused even though they are so close to the end of school,one dating, and all the rest of us trying our best to enjoy every day. Six more weeks till we will be home. YEAH!!!
I need to go. Cale has been sitting on the floor by me doing his quiet time while I type and I think he is about done.
Love you all,Rachel
