We were invited to teach today at one of the private Christian Filippino schools. It was our second time visiting one, but our first time teaching at one. We got all dressed up and had our lessons prepared. I was excited and nervous!
Nate taught music behind that wall you see, and I taught photography in this classroom pictured. We both integrated the Bible into our lessons so the kids would learn more about how to worship God with music and photography! 
It was so fun to see their little brown eyes and to hear them all greeting us. They were so happy to have us visit and all thought it was funny when we greeted them in Cebuano. They were surprised we knew how to speak their language! We of course taught in English, which they also know, but it is always fun to use their language too.
When we left the school the principal walked us out, and many of the students followed her and waived good-bye. Their voices rang out "Bye!" I'm sure we will all remember that for a long time! Thank you, Lord, for the chance to share your love in a Pilippine school! May the students we met learn to worship you in everything.

I love hearing your stories! I have found that children, no matter what the culture are so welcoming and inviting. When I was teaching in Hungary for a short time, the kids would just surround us handing us pieces of paper and American basketball cards. Not knowing what they wanted, I started to write down my address for them, but as soon as my name was written, they took the paper away. All they wanted was our autograph! I'm glad you have your experiences to cherish! ~Jessica
What a wonderful way to share your gifts of music and photography, plus put in a few good words for the Good Word! The children look delightful and delighted! I'm so glad to get a sample of your photography, bringing your world into mine. Exciting days! Luffya, Mums
Thanks for entering in to our world with us! It is always good to hear from you both on the blog! Thanks for checking in and for your encouragement.
