hosting kids

Earlier this week, a few of the ssj & some meralco cfc members hosted kids who attended the IKV(International Kids Village). These kids were frome Cagayan de Oro.

For the 1st 2 nights, we had only 2 girls with us, Anggie & Yena. They were pretty quiet but I just kept on talking with them. Mwahaha. My talkative nature is coming out.(Actually, it doesn't need to come out) Anyway, they were very nice & behaved which made it easier to host them. Wed, we went to rockwell to go around. They were loosening up a little since I guess they were excited to go home that evening.

That aftenoon, I decided to go with my dad, my tito & tito cesar(who were in 3 different cars. yup. there were 18 of them. 16 kids, 2 yfc, 2 coordinators) to the pier.


These were the kids in the car w/ us:

When we arrived in Super Ferry's area, there was a ship. they were suppose to go down when somebody said that the ship for CDO left at 3 pm. We arrived there at 6 pm because the group thought that their ship was leaving at 8pm(Longer story if i include why so wag na lng). While the cars were parked, i was able to talk to jobert(the yfc dude who joined them), kookie(the yfc girl) and the KFC girls. Maingay pala yung 2 naming hinost. Lol. & kinausap ako ni princess who was so cute. She was talking to me in Bisaya. Then, her ates told her to speak in Tagalog. hihi. The girls weren't complaining at all. The 2 YFC people only worried because they will have a youth camp this weekend & both of them will serve. The guy is the camp servant. Since it will take them 2 days & 2 nights to reach Cagayan de Oro, if they had left last wed, they would arrive home on friday at around 12nn. But since they will be riding the next ship(thurs, 10 pm), they would be late because they'd be arriving saturday afternoon.

That night, we had 4 kids staying with us.

To cut the long story short, I just wanted to say that those kids were pretty inspiring. They didn't complain. They just said that God will make a way. I remember that somehow we complained during the ILC for the bus delay. Our wait was nothing compared to theirs. Pero yun. Wala alng nakakatuwa sila. Just wanted to share. Hosting them was pretty fulfilling as it is a way of serving God & learning as well.
