Day 14

Alice and Lisa

hey Bloggers how's it going?

Alex playing with the younger kids

We started the day remembering we had a punctured tyre to fix. We had a gentleman called Yusaf come take the car to the garage to be repaired. The bill to repair a punctured tyre, $4. BARGAIN!

Makayla exhausted

We drove out to Sandra Jones Centre and visited the young ones firstly. They were watching 'The Lion King' until we walked in, then they just wanted to play. Andy, Alex and Debbie's kids, Stef, Madi and Bekky went outside to play frisbee with the older bunch, while Lisa and I were inside having fun with the younger babies. We must have exhausted the little ones because Makayla (who's about 1 yr old) fell asleep on the chair while playing with her toy. We said goodbye to the young ones and headed towards the girls' area.

Alex grabbed his guitar students and they were jamming in the main hall. He's now teaching them BAR chords, which is amazing since these girls having only been playing for less than 2 weeks. It was heading towards lunch time so Andrew and I jumped at the opportunity to serve the girls their lunch, Sadza and beans. After lunch the girls attacked Andrew's hair and gave him a new hair style. Everyone found this a funny and enjoyable experience except Andrew who was cringing every time someone grabbed a lock of his hair. We played a few more games with the girls while others went inside to watch the movie 'Step Up'. I went inside one of the classrooms and played a few games on their blackboard with some of the girls. It soon turned into them teaching me Ndebele (their local language) which was fascinating. I'm wanting to go back tomorrow to learn more.

We were there for a few hours but we then had to leave because Alex, Andrew, Lisa and I had to prep ourselves for Ultimate Frisbee with the youth from Bulawayo Baptist church, our weekly dosage of intense exercise. we learnt our mistakes from last week and wore proper clothing and brought gallons of water. It was Lisa's first time playing Ultimate Frisbee and I think she enjoyed the game which involved throwing the 'plate'. We headed back to Debbie's and have crashed on the couch, watching 'A Cinderella Story' with the girls. It mustn't be Alex's kind of movie because he's passed out on the sofa.

Thanks for reading and leaving your comments! We really do appreciate and enjoy reading them.

P.S: As a bonus for this blog, Lisa has typed her thoughts of playing Ultimate Frisbee for the first time.
