Hi everyone, it's Sarah.
Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers, they are very much appreciated.
We've had a lovely day today taking 170 kids swimming. I have to admit I thought it was going to be a bit of a nightmare; but it was amazing! Everyone has had so much fun. The resort was absolutely perfect; and because we went on a friday, we were practically the only ones there. It was just fantastic to see the smiles on the children's faces; it will be the first time that some of them have been swimming.
I have to say that I have got quite sunburnt today, so having loads of kids climbing all over me was rather painful haha:) but I'll live.
Today we have also celebrated the 23rd anniversary of Kanlungan. It has been so nice that the two have coincided as we were able to have a devotion and celebration all together. I just find it so tearjerking every time I see the children worshiping and praising God. Despite all that they have been through, they are so reliant on God, it's so inspiring!
This evening we took all the staff out for a meal to a Japanese restaurant where one of the boys in Kanlungan works as the chef. We have had a lovely time and has been a wonderful opportunity to get to know the staff even more and also to thank them for their continuous hard work and dedication.
I literally can't believe how quickly these past two weeks have gone. Heidi and I will be very sad to see Mary, Mela, Jess and Alec leave tomorrow, but we are very excited (and a little nervous) about moving into the Malate centre and actually getting stuck in now. We would really appreciate your prayers as we move in tomorrow and that we will quickly settle in and find our places and where we fit there.
It means so much to know that you are all supporting us and keeping us in your prayers. I really feel that this is where God wants us right now and I am very excited to see what he has in store for us.
God bless
Sarah xxxx

Thinking of you and praying for you both. It sounds like you're having an amazing time and it will only get better as you settle in and find your place. Be blessed, Lydia, Drew, Daisy, Isaac & Hannah xxxxx
Hey Sarah!
Great to hear what you're getting up to! Swimming sounds like so much fun! I bet the kids had an amazing time!
I'll be praying for you at the Malate centre but you're both lovely so I have no doubts you'll settle in really really well! I think you will see God move in amazing ways because now Mary, Mela, Alec and and Jess are leaving you'll be relying on God so much more. Praise God that they were able to be there to help you settle in though!
Make the most of every moment because 3 months flies by!
Lots of love
