I can't believe that we are leaving in two days!!! Last week seemed to move by so slowly but this week has been speeding by. To be honest, I don't even remember what we did on Monday. On Tuesday, we had our last Gr. 3-6 English class (because other activities were planned for Wednesday - Friday) and Esther, Mel and I had some good bonding time with the older girls in the evening.

However, the important part of this post is what happened YESTERDAY (much more notable than other days). In the morning, we went to the Taiwanese Aboriginal Park which was beautiful. Each aboriginal tribe has a section to exhibit their traditional village life and there was a traditional dance show. Afterwards, we went to lunch at a restaurant halfway up a mountain and in Esther's words, "Lunch was amazing." We were all very full and successfully paid for the bill after some sneaky planning.

All of this however was not the "big" part of yesterday. The big part was that GREG SPRAINED HIS ANKLE playing basketball in flip flops. Somebody fouled him (I think) and then he crumpled to the ground. AIYAH!!! Poor guy. Greg was jumping on one foot all of last night but I've got to say that he kept a great attitude about it and didn't complain about it at all. Fortunately, he is feeling much better after the orphanage's house parents forced him to go to a Chinese doctor this morning. Please pray that his ankle will continue to heal and thank God that the injury was not worse than it is.

Besides the sprained ankle, an exciting part of last night was that some of the teens taught us how to do one of the traditional dances that they performed last weekend. The reason we are learning it is because they are throwing us a good-bye party tomorrow (YAY!) where all the houses perform something (usually singing or dancing) and we want to perform something for them as well. It is a lot of fun and honestly not that difficult, but Esther, Mel and I, given our lack of dancing ability, look pretty funny when we go through the dance moves :) We'll tell you how it goes tomorrow - there is a high probability that we will forget half the dance sequences and consequently FREESTYLE our way through the song hehehe

Anyway, must go and do a few things before dinner time
But please pray for Greg's ankle! God is the ultimate healer and we know Greg's health is in good hands.
