no.117 130825 Thank you for the preschool team

Thinking of the children I met in Mexico. This was exactly 3 weeks ago!

Today is the last Sunday of August, meaning it was the last day for some of the children in the preschool department. There are about 20 kids who are graduating from the preschool/kindergarten department and going to primary as of next Sunday. Last Sunday was the official graduation day but today was the last day for all the graduates. Although it's only been four months since I started serving at preschool, I guess I was attached to the kids. I teared up when I saw the children performing a short song to their parents last week. I was sad that they are leaving, but I think I was more touched to see how they are trying their best for their parents. I thought they were so adorable.

The department pastor invited all the teachers for dinner for the year-end party/farewell for two of the teachers. It was a great time of food and fellowship, because on Sundays we are usually busy with children that we never really get a chance to talk to one another.

I thank God for our team and the teachers that I'm serving with. I love serving with them and having the same mind and heart toward the children in the department. I'm especially sad that my teaching partner will be done as of next Sunday, as he wants to concentrate on his studies. Our praise leading teacher is also leaving to Germany for her school. I'll be praying for you guys, and your presence will definitely be missed!

PS. I realized that I haven't been taking photos lately... I keep posting photos from Mexico!
