Running, Driving, Smoking




Hi!
Recently there was a sports carnival, and it was great!! There was amazingly fast running, and five schools came, each in their own broken, smoking bus. They all were leaning out the windows, whacking the side of the bus and singing at the tops of their lungs. One kid who was running had had a motorbike accident the week before, and he was running like a wounded elephant, but he was winning! But then the teachers pulled him out of the race. Actually, the disputes were more interesting than the races. When the race ended, a whole crowd of people started yelling at each other!! It was crazy! No one was hurt but the arguments were lively and hilarious.

Later, I went and played in the only car faster than Reverend's Hilux. The trough! Eddie ( The little dude grinning his head off) is an amazing "driver" and he is also a policeman with a "gun". It is so cute to see him "driving" using a stick as a steering wheel.
A few days ago there was a fire in one of the houses and all Eddie's clothes, toys and shoes are burnt up now. He was really sad. It was kind of scary. Mr. Hunda came sprinting into our house and borrowed our fire extinguisher and sprinted off. Dad grabbed our other fire extinguisher and sprinted off too. I wondered what was going on and followed them. When we got there, smoke was pouring out of the windows and Mr. Hunda went in and extinguished the fire.

  1. Wow Abbey, it sounds like it was an amazing experience to watch the local sports carnival!Do you have any idea what the children were singing as they leant out of the buses? Which boy is Eddie? They both seem to have such big smiles to me! We are so very saddened to read of the fire in Eddie's home.Where is he living now? How are he and the other children going after such a frightening experience? We will keep praying for you all that you and your new friends will know peace and safety.
    Lots of love,
