Today was such an amazing day. It started off with a service opportunity at a local English Village. We were able to spend time with elementary students. It was so great to have this chance to play, interact with, and perform for these children.
Apparently many of these children have gone through many struggles already in their short lives. I loved to see their happy and smiley faces. Even though I couldn’t understand most of what they were trying to say to me, I was able to catch “Hello English Teacher.” I could really tell their joy of having us there with them.
Service is so fun to do. I love it since it helps me see the joy I can bring to other’s lives by doing something that may even seem small to me. To the person who is being served it is always so much more.
In the night time we performed our first major concert. I loved the feeling of singing for that crowd, especially the [Taiwanese] songs. I love to hear their appreciation for us in singing something that they can connect with on a personal level. Even though music can touch someone even if the lyrics aren’t understood, it is always better to bring it to them on a more personal level by embracing their language and culture. I look forward to many more similar experiences as the tour goes on.
