This is a great sight. It means everyone is gathered together, which
probably means something fun is happening.
Typically, you’ll see
everyone’s shoes piled up outside the dining hall at family mealtimes (it would
be madness to try to sort out shoes with 280 students traipsing through twice
daily) and for church. You can always
gauge how many people are inside by the array of flip flops/sneakers/mary
janes/Crocs/sandals etc. are outside.
And if you’re lucky enough to have feet as, ahem, substantial as
mine…you can always find your giant kicks in the pile.
On this particular
afternoon, it was Movie Day! Using a
projector and laptop, we were able to screen a Mr. Bean film for the girls as a
special treat. This was a genius selection
on Kayci’s part, as the physical comedy of Rowan Atkinson was a hit for
everyone, regardless of their English proficiency.
Forty four girls on four
mattresses and eight chairs made for one cozy living room, but no one seemed to
mind.
Even Ester came out for the
big event, and she thoroughly enjoyed herself.
You just can’t tell by looking at her face.
All in all, our movie
premier was a big success and an afternoon full of laughter. You don’t get much better than that.
