Here is a glimpse of our daily schedule:
Monday- Thursday:
5:30am- Wake up
5:30 �” 7:00am- The children do chores. I
spend this time alone with the Lord.
7:00am-7:45am- Breakfast
8:00am �” 8:45- The children have devotions.
If the Internet is working, I use this time to catch up on emails, post
photos, or write a blog.
9:00am �” 12:00pm- The older children are in
school and the younger children play. Some people on my team play games
with the kids, some tutor in the school, and I work in the library.
12:00pm-12:45pm- Lunch
1:00pm �” 4:30pm- The children have free
time. I will work in the library, hang out with the kids, and /or give
Mackenson a guitar lesson.

5:00pm �” 6:00pm- Dinner
6:00pm �” 7:00pm- The children have evening
devotionals. During this time my team has feedback time. This is when we
meet to talk about the day, discuss anything that may be on our hearts
regarding each other, and pray. Feedback plays a vital role in
maintaining team health.
7:00pm �” 10:00pm- More free time, homework,
reading, and getting the kids ready for bed.
Friday’s Schedule:
The children still do their chores in the
morning and have devotionals. But they don’t have school. Friday’s are
the designated “outing day� for the children who have been in school. We
will take them to the beach, go for a hike, or hang out in Saint Marc.
Saturday’s Schedule:
The children get to sleep in as long as
they want. It’s also the day the children do major cleaning in the
dorms. My team takes the entire day off. Last Saturday we went to the
beach all day and relaxed. We played a fun game of beach volleyball too!
Sunday’s Schedule:
Church is at 9:00am and ends around
10:30…or 11:00….or 11:30 (like this week). It’s a very relaxed day
hanging out with the kids, or taking a nap. It’s amazing how much the
heat zaps your energy!
