GRACE TRIP – Day 5

Written by Teddie on November 27th, 2007

Hey this is Miriam, Stephanie, Courtney and Felicia from Canada. Eh! Today our alarm went off at 5:20 am, but really we didn’t get up until 6:15 am. Breakfast was awesome as usual and Miriam got the last two pieces of bacon. Which is Miriam’s favourite (thats right i use a U!) Devotion was really good as usual too. Danny shared on how we shouldn’t let our circumstances choose our attitude and how we should let God work in our hearts. We packed up the vans and drove one hour up a mountain into the clouds to Panimaquin. It was amazing watching the clouds lift before our eyes…God’s creation is beautiful. At Panimaquin we started with a tour of the grounds and of the work they did last year. At 10 am the ladies and one man (the worship leader) gathered together and sang some worship songs. The one man left and we had a sharing and prayer time. During this time the men got to paint and play basketball. It was beautiful to see how God has, and is, working in their lives. After this, the men joined us and the children performed a Christmas concert for us. There was singing and dancing and tambourines and recorders…very cool. When they finished we did crafts with the smaller kids and hung out with them. They are truly the sweetest kids ever. They are so beautiful. The drive down the mountain was not as bad as going up but we still got sore. There were many pictures opportunities on the way down like the laundry mat. We arrived at the mission house and had a late lunch. Some of the people put gift bags together for the boys from the orphanage and others went down the hill to fill in ruts with rocks. It was raining when the boys arrived and they got very wet. We played cards and made necklaces with them. The pizza arrived and the boys got even more hyper. We all ate pizza and had a good time. Just before the boys left we sang Christmas songs and gave out presents. They loaded into the vans and were brought home. We, at the mission house, cleaned up and organized cards. In conclusion (that was Teddie’s imput) the day was really, really good. Good Night! Eh!
