Hair Styling by Amy

Hi everyone! Ok so today we went and helped level out a field and build a roof for a daycare center place. There were many children there all very excited to help out. Being the get builder and land leveler that I am, I played with the kids. :) The kids were very sweet and excited to play with anyone! In fact most of the time I was sitting on the ground and 3 or so girls and a few boys would be playing with my hair and kissing it. I did help dig out some rocks and use them to make a line and it was so cool to see how happy kids were to dig for rocks. I think we did a pretty good job there considering there was glass and trash everywhere when we first got there. Then after lunch we headed over to a church near the field we were clearing earlier in the day. That was a lot of fun because when we first got there we, the band people, were practing a few songs to sing and there was a very young boy there who came over and started singing with us. I think it is so neat to see how even in a place were kids walk around barefoot on glass and have barely anything to eat each day, can still sing joyfully to God. I dont think I mentioned before that we were doing VBC at the church. Anyway once children started coming to the church it was sweet to see that many of them were ones we saw earlier that day! I sat down with a few girls and also instantly they started braiding my hair and this time at least 5 were playing with my hair and a few were singing songs with me. I also got a chance to rap with a little boy, I dont think they liked it very much or they thought it was really funny. I think it went something like this, "I like swiss cheese on my toast in the morning! It taste so good and makes me really happy!". The day was very tiring and took a lot of energy out of us, but it was most definitely worth it! Tomorrow we are doing some similar things and maybe even going to the hospital again! Hi mom and dad. I hi sam and stevers hope you dont miss me too much!!!! Thanks for your prayers everyone!

Amy it was so good to hear your "voice"...and we are not surprised that the kids LOVE your hair...red must be pretty unusual! Dad wants to know why you won't let him braid your hair! :) Seriously...we are so excited about all that you are doing and learning. God is great and using you all for His glory! Praise God! Much love to you Amy and blessings to all the group. We're continually in prayer for you all. :)
