Creative ways to keep clean:


Er okay...DePin and XuSheng should've been quite clean, but I guess FUN is always priority in the mind of any typical kindergarten kid! =p
Other random shots:




Hmmm this is our 3rd painting session already, and it seems that more and more people are showing interest in our project! It's definitely a great cause not only for God and for our own learning experience, but also a great cause for love. I think sometimes it gets really tiring and frustrating, especially when painting the ceiling, and also cleaning(!!!) because the floor has black muddy-ish patches and bits of stone-like particles even after cleaning over and over. Yet the old folks aren't appreciative sometimes and will fuss over some things when we are almost ready to declare "done!". But I think all of us really have the spirit of excellence and the desire to serve the old folks, and we continue to persevere despite feeling like giving up. Also wanna add that everyone's very supportive of each other and will not fail to give each other encouragements! Another blessing is that we have people like Songjun who never fails to be a blaring but definitely entertaining radio because whatever he says is not funny to the extent that it's funny.
Hmmm, I guess it's right that love really takes effort, and it doesn't just come "at first sight". It's hard to love the old folks sometimes but painting for them has really taught us to do so (e.g. when we get to talk to them especially, and when we need to borrow chairs and poles from them sometimes they are really very willing). Well, we also learn to love each other more and more! Some people dun like dirty stuff that much, and others may be frustrated at them not being sacrificial enough, but in the end everyone still learns to understand, love and help each other out. It's really about giving and taking! :)
Lastly, I just want to end off this entry with a photo that sums up the love I hope we can see more and more during each painting session, whether it's amongst everyone, towards the old folks, towards God... A love that never demands, and is always giving :) Awww... (there's no mistaking it!) haha! =p
