I want to write about the many mission teams that come from all around the globe. It seems like whenever a group comes they bring a little piece of the culture with them. So I want to tell you about each group.
So far we have had groups from:
-Central African Republic
-Hawaii
-New York
-Singapore
-Switzerland
-China
-Korea
#1- The People from Central African Republic
These people were actually American but worked in Central African Republic as missionaries. Dan lived in Africa before, so he already knew them. They were here when we landed so we were tired and I don't think we got any pictures. Even though we only knew them for a few days, yesturday we got a package from them with cookie mix (we baked them in our toaster since we didn't have an oven), muffin mix, and muffin trays that will fit in our toaster! We must be very likable! ;-) Jokes lang which means just kidding on the island!
#2- Hawaiians
These people brought with them the Bethany Hamilton movie "Soul Sufer" to show the kids. They were lots of fun. I they have been coming for 4 years. They thought they may not of been coming this year because of dangourus health reasons but as they put it "God had another plan." We are going back through Hawaii and having a 5 day vaction there so we are going to visit them. Here are there pictures:
This is the picture of the goodbye party. I look horable in this picture because they taught us:
It's a move that they do in pictures. So whe I did it they laughed with me so I started laughing too!
This picture was at the church after sunday school.
This is a picture they took of all the kids at sunday school doing that motion.
#3- New York
These people traveled 28 hrs so they could come and help in Boracay. There were people from 12 - 50 in that group. It was neat having someone that lived so close to us there.
#4- Singapore
They teach at an international school in Singapore. They came for 4 days and were great. (they gave me dried mango!!!!!!!!!!! ;-D) A guy taught dad a lot about Singapore. Like they used to be (I know this is random but, I had to stop to put my hair up because I am sweating hot even though I am sitting down doing nothing) part of Malaisa then somehow, some guy made it its own country and made rules like you can't plan anything (like building roads, houses, companies, etc.) without a 20 year plan and stuff like that. We learned a lot.
#5- Switzerland
These people were awesome!!!!!!!! They stayed for 3 weeks helping at the school, consruction, and feeding sites. They brought lots of boxes for the school and such. They gave us these fruit roleups although they were sour and sooooooooooo good! They were from all different parts of Switzerland. Here is a video of them yodeling for us at a games night on New Years Eve they held:
They taught us different fun games like dress up and eat chocolate game! It was fun.
#6- China
Again, they are just teaching at International school there. They are still here and are working hard turtoring the kids, construction and feeding sites. They also brought supplies for the school. They have only been here a couple of days but I know that they are servants of God.
#7- Korea
A highschool from Korea are here right now helping build the school literally around the teachers as they teach the kids! We are so gratful for all the support we have been getting. This week there is 51 people in the Jungle Barn! It is great to have this much support! :-D
All the people that have come here or are coming here or that have donated something or have funraised or told people about the ministry I want to thank so much for donating your time to Boracay. Thank you for not just bringing yourself here but your culture here. Thank you so much and God bless.
