Wednesday July 24
Since we have no ministry scheduled this morning, we had more time for devotions and practice. We actually recorded (on iPhones) our singing. Chloe is leaving us this afternoon because she could not persuade her mother to let her stay longer at the music camp which she said she really enjoyed. (Her mother only allowed her to stay 3 days because we are a Christian music camp.) She gave us permission to pray for her at the end of devotion time and one of our prayer request is that she can rejoin us later. Tina is also leaving but rejoining us later, and Josh drove them to the train station while picking up Terry, an "old" friend from last year.
This afternoon, at 12:50, we had scheduled a half hour reunion time with the eighth grade class (our seventh grade students from last year), the only time the school could squeeze us in. But due to some disciplinary problems, they did not come until 1 PM, so our time with them was really short, just a "hi", quick intro, and one game. Perhaps more of them will come to the Friday BBQ and outreach concert. By 1:20, our current seventh grade students showed up so Pastor Chou said a quick word about Christmas, run through their song and dance quickly and off we all went to their separate classes to discuss the story of Christmas in more detail. Class went well, but some children forgot to bring their gift exchange presents, so we supplemented with candy so those children felt disappointed, but we tried to encourage them not to look at the size or cost of the gift but be thankful for any present they might receive. After dinner, we did some ear training and singing and ended the night early to get some extra rest.
