UCEC The Best Story Ever Told

Ethan and his friends at UCEC celebrated Christmas last Thursday (Dec 10th, 2009). They performed "The Best Story Ever Told". It was the story of Jesus' birthday. The performance began at 7:00pm and lasted for about 1 1/2 hours. It started with a testimony & principal's greeting for about 15-20 minutes total and it was show time.

Ethan's classroom (8 students) were dressed little stars as they symbolized the brightest star on the sky the night Jesus was born. They sang: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. As Ethan walked up the stairs to the stage with his friends, he looked a bit confused, seeing so many audiences sitting below the stage. I think he was also looking for his mommy among those audiences. Then he started singing and danced. They sang another song at the end together with the whole UCEC students.

Ethan did wonderful tonight. We are so very proud of him. May God uses Ethan since he's a little kid to become blessings for others.

To God be the Glory.

Thanksgiving Retreat 2009

This year, we spent our Thanksgiving with our church's friends at the Retreat, Rancho Capistrano. Last year, Ethan and I were in Indonesia. 1 year has gone by, time flies so fast. Ethan enjoyed his retreat very very much. He participated in his Sunday School class, singing, following teacher's instructions, playing, snacking, krafting and at the end of the retreat, he and his classmates performed 1 song for the Indonesian and English Congregations. The song was: God is Big. Papi and Mami are very much proud of him and his accomplishments. Ethan just loves to sing.
