Another Winter Mission Trip

        Well, it is snowing outside but I am stuck inside working. I have been stuck at work for 2 days now but I am getting a lot of new experiences. I have read bedtime stories to the elementary aged girls and did half a morning shift for the teens. One story that I read was Mr. Dog, a Golden Book. It took me back to my childhood.
        Then the last few days have been busy with preschool. Yesterday was when the snow was fresh so the children and I went out and played in it. I got a few snowballs thrown at me but good thing it is light snow. We had hot cocoa when we came back inside from the snow. Then we painted hand printed polar bears and went to the gym.
          It was so neat and fun this morning! As we were gathering snow for the ice cream, we saw big, long, thick icicles hanging from the playground things. A few of the children had to break them off and eat them.
          Then this morning is when I started my work day with the teens and all I did was bed checks and filled out their points papers for the day. The preschool had a good morning. Most of them started off by writing their letters in the dry erase marker books. Then we went outside again to get snow to make snow ice cream. We had snow ice cream for morning snack and all the children loved it. It is made with just snow, sugar, milk, and vanilla. They even asked for seconds but did not get any because it was mainly sugar. I gave each child their own bowl and put everything in the bowl and they got to stir it together. They were so excited about it!
           You know some people might not what to go to work on snow days and stay overnight if they had a chance. Where I  work though, it is fun to do both. Might get sleepy at times and might not have a life for a week but still fun. I will tell you one thing. It will make you focus on the more important things in life because with me all I brought to do in the extra hours is my Bible and my Bible study. I am almost treating it like a mission trip. Mission trips do exist in the states espically during the Winter.
