Day 6

Today we were back at the deaf school in Phu Ninh working finishing off our first mural and starting another one. It is super cute! I'm excited about finishing it tomorrow. First though, let me give you a quick recap of Sunday.

There is a film crew from the states here right now, making a short documentary about Orphan Voice. They are four Alabamin dudes who have us in stitches whenever they are around. Kimberly especially appreciates them because they remind her of home, and she hasn't been there since January. After I woke up Sunday, I was quite amused to hear "GOOD MOOOORNING VIIIIEEETNAAM!!!" drifting down the hall. The guy who was yelling it for the video was down the hall out on the balcony, but I could still hear him over the noise of the AC and fan. Them southern boys sure know how to yell!

For church I went to the small international fellowship in the city. I even sang on the worship team, which was something new for me (I think I only came in on the wrong spot or sung the wrong words a couple times) Then yada, yada, yada, happened in the afternoon, and I went back to the hotel to pack for the fourth time in one week! Let's just say that was not my most looked forward to part of the day.

On our way out of the city we stopped at a fancy coffee shop for the girls which included this extremely Asian sign of ultimate politeness and slightly off wording. Dear Our beloved Guests, THANK YOU for coming we feel really honored. see you again, anytime soon.

This morning started with a cold shower because if there is hot water, for the life of us the four girls in my room cannot figure out how to make it work. After that we had a nice taxi ride over to the school to start painting. I won't be able to put as many photos up as I'd like because the internet here is really slow. However, you were probably all overwhelmed with the last post and will prefer this one! We worked mostly on the classroom today which has a jungle theme full of crazy cute animals.

 Phoung took Cori for a scooter trailer ride. She was so excited about it.

 See Eun did the alphabet, like a boss!

 Michelle hard at work

 Lunch break! I think I am the only girl who ate my fish. Kelbin said he would happily take whatever we didn't want and was quickly lavished with fish and other intimidating items.

 

 I took care of the elephant and his painting. It is not quite done in this shot, but isn't he adorable!? His name is Arty

 Sometimes when you are the Asian and there is only one ladder you just have to jump to reach the high spots.

 Cary/Cari/Kari (I don't know how she spells her name) did such a good job on the lion's mane!

 Oh you know, just working on filling in Bertha

 Goodnight all, hug someone you love today and tell them why they are special to you, it will make you both feel better. :)
