| Dear Friends,
This was by far my favorite week of the summer. We spent the week working at the Chan Kwan Tung Kindergarten, which is located in the same building as Command Headquarters. Each day we sang songs, went over a memory verse, told a Bible story, and either played games or danced.
The dancing day was so much fun because none of us are really dancers, but they asked us to lead dancing so we did. We taught the kids the Macarena, the chicken dance, the hula, and a dance called popcorn. It was so much fun watching the little kids dance.
We also spent some time working with the children on worksheets. I was in the three year old class, so worksheets meant we just got to color. The best part was the children didn’t realize that we didn’t speak Cantonese, so they would come up to us a speak to us in Cantonese thinking we understood what they were saying. It was so cute.
This week was difficult for us because there was a lot of misunderstandings about what the principal wanted us to do and the teachers had many different ideas about how we should lead our programs. But at the same time this week was full of so many blessings.
The children were always so excited to see us. They were excited and ready to do whatever we had planned for them. Also by the end of the week many of the children knew the memory verse and the songs that we taught them.
Next week we will be helping to lead an English day camp at the Kowloon Central Corps.
Thank you again for your prayers and support. I will be adding pictures of the kindergarteners to my Flickr site soon.
