The minute we step off the van to our first gig, there were more than 100 pairs of elementary school eyes staring at us. Partly because, well, they've never seen foreigners before. Curiosity, fear and wonderment accurately described the children's emotions as we de-vanned and unloaded our foreign luggage. There was no running water in this place, the school was surrounded by rice paddies (farmland) and the toilets were holes. We couldn't take a shower for a week, but when I saw these kids and their eagerness to learn and the beautiful creation that God had created, I can't help but forget all the discomforts and inconveniences to fall down and worship Him.
