OOPS -- This is for Tuesday

Hi this is Amanda again. We were so tired yesterday that we forgot to put this entry in. So today I am acting like as if it was on Tuesday. I wanted to add that my dad (Todd) and I wrote the other one before this or under this if you scroll down.

Today was the last day that we got to see the kids at Pastor Solomon's School. We were supposed to leave the School at about 11:00 but we had stayed there even longer then we wished to. This was mainly because first, we really, really, really wanted to get more of the library done so that they would have at least part or 1/10th of a library. So the guys worked on the shelves while the girls worked on all the book stuff like alphabetizing and sorting. Once we got our shelves in there, and filled it with books, Pastor Gary had something to say to the teachers.

He told them that they were his hero, and that they are helping the least of these like how it says in Matthew 25:31-46 about how God will separate everyone like a shepherd separating the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep in his right and put the goat in his left hand. God will praise the sheep for helping the "least of these". Pastor Gary told the teachers that he imagines them as one of those sheep. One of those sheep who will be praised for helping these kids even after we leave.

After this we didn't want to leave. I personally wanted to see the kids and stay with them, but we had to go. So, we left 3 hours late. While driving, we passed by a sign that said, "High High-Jacking risk". That got me soooo scared. Not only that but, the air was so smoky because there were many fires on the side of the highway. After we passed that area, it started to get dark. It got harder and harder to see the van in front of us. This was because of two reasons. First off, it was getting dark, and second, the cars going the opposite direction were right next to our lane. I was sooo scared because the cars looked like they were going to hit us. One last thing that shook me up was that we went in the opposite lane at least 3 times to passs slow cars/trucks!!! I thought that my dad was going crazy!!! I thought that we were going to get hit by the cars that were going the opposite lane then us!!!. Of course we are alright now so that says that my dad knew what he was doing. So Cya in a couple of days!!!
