from arianna

today was just full of excitement!! after we ate breakfast, we went to a school. the teachers were very nice and the kids were all safi (great)! at first we sang mapambano and jambo for the teachers. then they informed us that the kids were also going to perform for us! when they sang, i wanted to start crying. they were amazing! they sang the tanzanian national anthem! the principal told us that we were a blessing and that we we were always welcome there. the kids wee great after we performed. all the kids smiles just warmed my heart because i know that i put that smile there. after we left the school we went to the orphange and performed our show. we received more blessings from god, beacuse it started pouring while we were performing!! when we were done with our show, we taught them some of our songs and they sang terrific!! well i think i can say that today was one day i will never forget!! love, arianna - ps. i miss everyone!

    Arianna. Mom says she misses and loves you. Sounds as if your having a great time - I guess we knew you would. I read your post to mom, you know her she wouldn't know how to get on the computer. If the rain means god is blessing you I hope it rains the whole time your there. Mom says how are you doing without make-up and your curling iron. Oh, yea, Mom says why don't you miss "Smokey". Did you get sick with everyone? Write back as soon as you can. You know how much I love you. Miss tucking you in.
