The church we visited today was quite far...in the same "suburb" as my "far" aunt. Since Dad was speaking, they invited us all and even sent transportation. *The driver was a lovely fellow - hard to find folks like him these days*
The church met upstairs - women on the left and men on the right. At some point during the service the children were asked to leave for their own thing...we decided to check it out as well. Of course, as soon as the kids saw S. they were mesmerized by him and he created quite a bit of distraction. The teacher asked us if we'd like to speak to the kids, but we declined, not wanting to draw any more attention to ourselves. (I think) since the kids were distracted by S., the teacher decided to engage them in entertaining us with English songs. About 30 kids stood up and sang at least 10 songs for us (with actions) and in the end we taught them a song as well. Once there was some downtime, S. became a celebrity with some of the young boys, peppering him with all kinds of questions, etc. B. also got quite a bit of attention from the girls. I ended up being the papparazzi...and if felt that way too, i could hardly get any clear pics.
After lunch, we visited with my aunt for a little while, before heading back home. We left the house this morning just after 9:00 a.m. and got back around 6:00 p.m. - it's been a long day. The kids are dirty and cranky, hopefully they'll sleep well tonight.
