hey everyone it’s keilah & welcome back to my blog 🙂
We just finished day 11 & i can’t believe we only got a few more days left here! Time has been flying by for real
We started off today with a feeding at a place called Dumpsite. Once we got there , the kids knew what we were there for and they started lining up for some champorado right away. We still had some left over so me & Brooks started to walk around the neighborhood to let more families know that we have a sweet treat for them. As we were walking, we were talking about how both Spanish & Tagalog have similar words like cuchara (spoon), tenedor (fork), para (stop), vacÃo (empty), reloj (watch). Some words are spelled the exact same and others just have similar pronunciation. It is so interesting to learn that multiple languages have similar dialects.
After the feeding we came back to eat lunch so we can get ready for a volleyball tournament! There was three different teams playing: us , Azuza & the boys home! Our team was perfect because we have Lauren & Khaycee who play volleyball for school and then Graham & Alec have experience in volleyball so they were crushing it too. Meanwhile, I haven’t played volleyball in 6 years so I was just kind of there but it’s okay we still had a lot of fun! It got intense tho! Our opponents were super good and they had some pretty good plays. Idk who ended up winning the tournament bc in the end all the teams were shuffled up but i’m just gonna say we did because we beat both of the teams!
We were all tuckered out from the tournament so we came back to eat dinner and then we went to church where they had a praise night! It was a nice way to spend our evening because it was out of the heat and we were able to praise the Lord with everyone! It was great worship and a great message
After church, we walked to 711 to get some ice cream to share with each other. We got ube cake, cookies & cream and strawberry. they were delicious but the ube cake one was the best! To end today, we all hung out by the pool with some of our new friends from Azuza! Alec & Graham also gave us an outstanding (like oscars award winning) show for us. It was about .. uh .. I can’t even tell you what happened honestly, you just had to be there but they slayed nonetheless
Now it is time to wind down and shower. My bed is looking so comfortable right now. Goodnight everyone, thanks for tuning in ! We miss you and we will be back soon !
Love,
Keilah
