Friday Friyay!

Building on yesterday's morning devotion, today's reminded us to apply the scripture to our lives by showing compassion to others--to the kids especially through this mission.

Elene's daily Anatomy lesson focused on kindness and the brain. By doing acts of kindness, the brain releases dinosaurs (aka endorphins). Following that, Julia and Inez laoshi led the singspiration segment of the program by teaching a new song--Jesus I Am In, and leading four other songs, including He Is God and Totally Transformed, which the kids will perform this coming Sunday.

After dancing to He Is God again, per the kids' enthusiastic request, Joann led the Eating of God's Word today on Romans 8:25, which reads "But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." Today we had a special reward--See's candy lollipop, if the kid is able to memorize today's bible verse without any hints!

Sauna time! Just kidding, today was a bit cooler in the classrooms~ Thank God for the good weather!! The bible story today is on The Wall of Jericho, through which they were reminded to be strong in their faith and to obey what God's Word commands. Following that they learned about different occupations.

During the third and last session of the day, Faith class and Grace class combined to practice the songs that the kids will perform this coming Sunday. While there were some technical difficulties at the beginning, all went well and both class' kids were eager to sing to the songs loudly and do the hand motions.

This afternoon we had a family visitation for Ethan and Tony (Faith and Angel class, respectively), who are brothers and whose family owns a chicken farm. Tony, the youngest of his class, is usually quiet but very hardworking and eager to learn. But through today's family visitation, we learned that Tony is actually quite outgoing, while his older brother Ethan is more quiet and considerate--he warmed up Daniel's hands because Daniel was cold.*cue "awwww"*

Yay to more [dragon]fruits:


That's a wrap for week one! Thank you for all your prayers :) Please continue to pray for a restful weekend and a successful second week.
