Today we visited our last two schools, the first was Tiwi and the second is called Perani. The first school was huge, and so beautiful! We were greeted by children who compete in singing competitions. I've never heard young voices that were more beautiful. This has really been a recurring theme all week, but we love it so much. I could never and will never get tired of hearing these beautiful voices singing praises to the Lord. I believe a tear was brought to every eye at some time during the week because of their worship.
At our last school today, the children left us by marching and dancing out of the room in a line, while singing a song with us. As they left we gave each of them a goody-bag that many of our Hallmark students put together for them. We sang, "We are marching in the light of God." These children are being taught every day to walk, sing and dance in the light of God, just like the song says!
See all of you soon! And I love you mom and dad (I'm safe)

My dear sister Rachel, your blog today reminded me of Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." How important it is that they learn the ways of the Lord. Thank you for imparting wonderful visions of the experiences at the schools. Gary Gibson
