Hey everyone! Hey an earlier video! yay! Thank you so much for your prayers and well wishes video. It's Wednesday night as I type this at midnight so the kids will be able to see it Tomorrow night (thursday about 9:00pm when we return from our day.) Today was a very special and bittersweet day. We had to say goodbye to Cornerstone Christian Academy as this was our last working day with them. I know many of our students made real connections with those kids even in that short time. And we got a lot accomplished as well. We completed all 2,000+ mailers by hand done for them, the youth office painted, their gardens newly mulched, and also got to play with them during their recess. The highlight of the day was a special performance. Our seniors taught their children's choir Uya I Mose and we (all of NewSong) got to sing it all together. Unfortunately, I cant show it here since it would put the children in an unsafe dynamic online. But rest assured you will be able to see it soon.
After the work was done: time to play. We went and got a special tour of the Philly's Baseball stadium. Really fun and very cool as we toured the dugout, field, locker room, and more! Then the group went to our swim club to relax, while the Seniors, Jamie, and I went to.... well that will be a secret. :) But we had a special time to honor and bless our graduates from NewSong.
More will hopefully come tomorrow! We have a long day Thursday and then we leave Friday. So videos and posts will definitely slow down and may stop altogether (especially after Friday morning) But we will see you soon. We love you and thank you!
