When is the rain going to stop? Since we started the mission trip, it has been raining almost every single day. We thought by coming to Taichun weather should be much better. However, that is not the case. Since arriving on Sunday, the rain hasn't stopped at all and today was the same.
Heavy rain fell down upon us today but our schedule remained the same. We arrived at the high school at 1pm to host our English camp. This is the third day we are meeting with the students there and the students are getting to know the teachers a lot better. We had our large group together and we taught them a fun song - London Bridge is Falling Down. Even though it is more like a children's song, but the high schoolers all had a good time playing it.
In our workshop today, Syd and I hosted a game session. We played a game called "Telephone' where we divided students into groups and we give the first person of each group a simple phrase. Then the students would pass down the phrases and see if the last person of the group can get it right. To my surprise, they all did really well. We then played another game sort of like Taboo where we put up a word and the team has to describe the English word to their teammate who couldn't see the word. It was really fun and the students all had fun.
Once we got back to the church, we went to 7-Eleven for the first time since coming to Shalu. It was a much needed break because the night session starts at 7pm and we only have about two hours or so to rest, eat, and prepare.
Tonight we had about 26 kids joining us at the night camp. Just when we thought the kids here don't respond well, they definitely warmed up to us the second night. Teachers were interacting with the kids and we had a great 2nd session. We even did a craft with them where they created beautiful cross and fish drawing. Syd also made a beautiful one which many were quite impressed and I am the proud husband of this very artistic woman.
Tomorrow we are talking about Christmas at the camp and on Friday we will be talking about Easter. Since we are not really supposed to bring too much religion into the campus, please pray for us and allow God to give us a entry point to bring the gospel into this campus.
