Rebekka is here!

She came in on Monday night and will be here until next weekend! Rebekka came to school with me on Tuesday and got to meet all of my kids and watch me teach! She was a great help in the classroom and it was fun introducing her to my coworkers and cooperating teacher, whom of course all loved her! Afterwards, Mrs. Hravatic took Rebekka and I to an orphanage near the school. I think it's going to be my new home! Rebekka and I loved it! There are only babies there. Some of the babies are there because their mother's are in prison. Many women in Kenya are wrongfully placed there because of abusive men in their lives. There's also housing for women who have recently been released from prison to learn how to adjust back to life outside of prison with a young child. It's such an awesome ministry! We took lots of pictures! The babies were so adorable and happy and just love to be held! They all sobbed when we left! Rebekka has spent the last two days there as well. We had dinner at the Hravatic's last night. They are such a wonderful family and served us Korean food! It was delicious! Rebekka was able to go to the Hope Center also, which is where the youth group was when she came in 2006. We also went to Diamond Plaza one night for Indian food with Kim and Wendy and other friends/teachers from the school. Tomorrow we are going to hike Mount Longanot! We are so excited!
