Day 2
Today was SUPER fun! Sean and I had a blast hanging out with the kids and playing with them. We played a ton of games, from hide and seek to soccer. I think it's so cool that these kids can entertain themselves in a dust lot with homemade playground equipment.
After playing with the students for awhile, Sean and I were able to teach the kids a religion lesson and read a book to them. They were so willing to listen and learn (which I was thankful for because I'm not always the best at those kind of things :) ).
During the children's chapel, Sean and I had the chance to teach the students the song "King of Kings". They caught on right away. It was amazing listening to the students sing. They have such great voices!
We just arrived home from having dinner with the mayor of Middelburg. It was an awesome time chatting with him about the school. It's really great to hear that he is totally on board with all of the things that we're doing here at St. Peter!
I'm falling asleep while I'm typing this so I think I'll end it here. There are more adventures to be had tomorrow. Goodnight!
P.S. We visited a delicious bakery yesterday that I forgot to write about. While we were there we got to watch Mr. Rudi successfully make bread and Sean fail at making bread. The goal of the bakery is to eventually move it onto the St. Peter campus to provide bread for the students and the surrounding community, as well as giving jobs to more people. Good plan and great taste!

Hey Alyssa, I love reading this blog and seeing the great pictures. I can't wait to hear about tomorrow's adventure...is that when you make bread or when you play with the lions. Keep connecting with the kids, I'm sure God is using it more than you know.

Hey Sweet Girl!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite photo so far is the one in the middle with you and the two children. Both of the kids have such comfortable smiles like they feel safe and loved.
May God continue to use you in mighty ways!
