Day 2

Hello,

Today was our second full day in Philadelphia. This morning after Devotions we headed out to the Harold O. Davis summer camp like we did yesterday. The kids are so adorable and its so rewarding to see their smiling faces when we walk in. It's also really great when they remember your names and give you big welcoming hugs. Each day of camp they start out with Christian songs and other fun songs that get them up and moving that are led by the kids themselves. Then the we sing some of our own songs from church. After that, the kids all quiet down and they work on some sort of academic assignment. It's so cute to see them learning and really trying hard. We helped them whenever they needed it; it was nice to teach them something and feel like we are really helping them learn.

The kids work hard but thye get bored easily and want to play games or just goof around with us. The little girls love to play with our hair. They say its so soft and different from theirs. We played all sorts of games like Monopoly, chinese checkers, connect four, and hang-man. We always eat lunch with them and its adorable to hear their prayer before eating and to see them really appreciate what they are recieving. I love the little kids, its the best part of my day and I can't wait to see them tomorow.
