Today was our first full day in Kodai! We awoke to warm Indian tea, prepared by Dency and her family. Followed shortly by a tasty breakfast. Around 9:30 am, Getsy (who is in charge of the daycares here) picked us up, and drove us to a daycare called "Nathanael Daycare Center." Funny coincidence! Anyways, there were 55 students ranging from the age of 3-5. I swear these kids are smarter than I am! Somehow they managed to memorize Psalms, prayers, songs -- the whole works. We stayed at the first daycare for about an hour and a half. The kids wrestled and played their hearts out with us. Then we moved on to Deborah Daycare, which was a bit smaller than Nathanael Daycare. We didn't stay too long before our driver, John, took us back to Dency's house. Once back, we played with Dency's nephew Effy, who's loads of fun! John called around 3:00 pm and said he was going to come take us to an after school. William and I really didn't know what we were going to do there, but it all turned out great. We taught them a song, as well as listening to their angelic voices. The night ended with an evening prayer session with Dency's family.
Godbless!
