egypt photo journal (day five)

Day five began with a large group time in the church. Jared did the music. He taught the kids a lot of fun praise songs in English. They did a great job learning them. It was cool to hear them singing the songs on their own, outside of large group time. Kudos to Jared. He did a great job.

Typically when we gathered, we'd do a bunch of songs (some English, some Arabic). We'd also do some fun crowd game type stuff followed by a testimony from a team member and then a lesson. I did the lesson again on this day. It was an obect lesson involving parachutes. Very cool.

After the gathering, we headed outside for some fun and games with the parachutes. They were a big hit.

We had a craft time for the kids each day. Here's a shot of Lissa helping some of the boys make necklaces.

We did two large group gathering each day, mornings and evenings. We also gathered the kids before bedtime each night for something fun (usually a story or a movie). Day five was great...but very exhausting. It was impossible to get to bed before midnight. I chose to shower before bedtime (less crowded and more warm water). Our sleeping conditions were not the greatest...but we were thankful for beds. Better get some good rest...day six tomorrow...
