dun think these were the correct spelling but they were basically e amt of words i noe la.. better than e 1st time i came.. and they called me jiejie! :) i led this singing session with them.. and i was super super nervous cuz i was so scared tt they wun understand my english.. but translator rocks! :) and they can sing SO LOUD! SUPER PROUD OF THEM! one kid can sing louder than like 5kids back in church! :) n they really enjoyed themselves!
i guess our trip really made a difference... u can really see the smile on their faces... and it was a good day of fun! even if it was just ONE day. and thru this trip, ive known them better and they're opening up to me.. just that i dont understand.. but i'll just say... YA!!! or nod stupidly...
led this small grp of children do handy craft.. everytime when they're occupied.. i'll take out the indonesian dictionary and learn more words.. haha
the kids are sooo cute!! even though they live such a simple, rundown life there.. with no lights or anything.. u can see their pure innocence.. simple-mindedness.. and acceptance to their lives there. they taught me to treasure your toilets.. the food u get.. the clothes u have.. the things u possess. when we issued packet drinks to them.. some of them didnt even bare to open it.. cus it was just so precious to them.. and when we cut watermelon for them.. they snatched to get a piece while my cut watermelon is left at home with no one wanting to eat..
must say that they have MORE ENERGY than me!!! they can really play captain's ball!!! and i guess it was e only time they could play with a ball. but it's just the happiness they have and sweet ignorance to the real world that really strike me. and their eagerness to memorise bible verse.. and their devotion when they pray! :) amazing..
even though they live in such a corrupted country... with many men going there for the wrong reasons... i guess i really dont mind staying there another day just to be with them and get a taste of life without the need to worry abt the uneccessary urban things.. and i really want to know them more!!! shall go learn to really speak their language!
overall.. a great trip!
PRAISE BE TO GOD! :)
