BOJ from April's perspective

Hey Everyone back home in the homeland!! So, the day started off with a fried hair dryer and ended with an amazing debriefing of what everyone did for the day. I definantly plugged Morgan's hair dryer into an outlet not made for it! Yeah, I know, we layed hands and prayed but it was just the hair dryers time to go. :( WEll, now I guess I'll let you know what my day looked like. The school was amazing. The little classroom was clean and decorated with yellow and blue paint. The alphabet was on the wall just like a classroom in the US. The children were adorable. I really wanted to just stick a couple of them in my bag and bring them on home with me. But, of course I didn't. There mamma's would miss them of course. The party started off with the kids singing and doing the national anthem. It was so cute and nice to see them excited about something that they did and prepared. They did such a great job and they really loved participating in the Christmas story.

I really loved praying with the Mothers and letting them know that they are the ones who are directly supporting the schools. They are investing in their own childrens futures by having them in the school. I don't know, I just really love the Philippines and the people. The children are precious and full of joy. It's very contagious and I can't help but smile.
