Raymie's blog

Hi everyone, this is my first ever blog...joining the tech age. Today was a work day in the morning. We finished painting four classrooms (three coats!) Got a start on several more. Then cleaned up trash and junk in the hallway. Everyone had fun chucking the junk out the open doorway at the end of the hall down six stories to the ground below. The challenge was to hit the garbage can but it didn't matter if you missed it. We went walking around Ibillin after lunch. Stopped in Abuna's first church and took some pictures. Singing songs was again a treat because of the echoing which makes everything musical sound good but makes understanding spoken words difficult. Then went shopping...little stores with candy, fruits and vegetables, ice cream and sodas. You should have seen the hills we had to hike down and up to get to and from the school. We found a toy store which also sold clothing...Ian called it the department store! Bought a stuffed toy for our bus driver. He has a collection all around the front of the bus. His name is Ibrahim and he is a fabulous driver. His bus works like the one in the Harry Potter movie.... goes through the skinniest spaces, backs up around corners like he has folded it in the middle and he can find anyplace Don wants him to take us even if Don doesn't know the directions. I'm stopping now so I can go play soccer (football) with the kids 'cause I hear they found a ball. Blessings to all who are reading this. We are all being blessed by this trip. TTFN
