T-Shirts & Bonfire

23 February 2011

It’s 10:15 p.m. here on Saturday. Today has been such a crazy day! (I feel like I say that a lot when describing UDH..ha) We walked the elementary to school, washed lots and lots of clothes, had an Ilonggo lesson, organized things for the evening activities, took a nap, had activity, and finished up the night with a bonfire for Sam’s birthday!

Today’s activity was painting t-shirts. The goal was for everyone to go around and put their handprint and name on each person’s t-shirt. Surprisingly, the elementary did pretty well. However, the highschoolers were very interesting. Their shirts look very, very nice! The funny thing about them is they are such perfectionist! They made sure each handprint was perfect, and some wouldn’t even let everyone put their handprint on it because it was becoming too crowded! They looked really great though. Gemboy told us “It was a waste!” Maybe because we were using so much paint, but he seemed to really be enjoying it, and got super excited whenever his handprint was “Perfect!” Jestoni told us they all really enjoyed doing that, because they had never had the opportunity to do anything like that before! I just hope they don’t try and scrub them like they do all of their other clothes, or there might not be any paint left on them! Bekah and I think that maybe we have everyone’s handprint and names on our shirts, but we aren’t quit sure! They are super cute though.

I am certain we will cherish them for a very long time.

Today was Sam’s birthday. They had a party earlier in the day for him with the younger kids like Angel, KB, JP, Don Don, and Angeline. Then, tonight after dinner we had a little bonfire for him. It was much more organized tonight, and lots of fun! We had s’mores again, of course! Sam loves them, but who doesn’t?! We sang a couple of songs around the fire. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it. I know I did!

I am trying to forget that I only have a couple of days left here; however, it seems like everything I do I put a number on it. Like every time I walk the kids to school I think, only 3 more times. Just things like that. It’s going to be a very sad day.

Please pray for Nanay. She hasn’t been feeling well for the past couple of days. She has been having stomach issues. She left tonight, and went to the hospital. Pray for her healing!
