Day 2398. This morning the kids were more considerate than yesterday. At 9:15 am my alarm went off, and at 9:30 we walked out the door, got into the car and drove the 5 minutes to church. We parked at a nearby parking lot and walked to church where they had a brunch for missionaries in the tent they had set up.

Day 2397. It was after 2 am before I went to bed last night. This morning, Sammy was up before 6 am and Emmy just after him. Then the alarm went off at 6:15 am as usual; I had forgotten to turn it off. I couldn't believe they had gotten up even before that time. Tammy was still asleep but the boys soon woke her up.

Day 2396. The day started like any other school day. Randy first took Tammy and Emmy to school, then Sammy, while I went back to bed for a little bit. At 8:50 am my alarm already went off. I got up and got ready, and just after 9 am Randy and I left the house and walked to the train station to take the 9:20 am S-train to the main train station across the river.
