Ryan's Program

The story was really neat.  One of the main characters was Psalty-a blue living songbook.  She was supposed to take a group of children to sing at Brent and her pages were dusty, the children washed them, and they shrunk so the songs on her pages would not be sung correctly.  She spoke to "the principal" on the phone-really a very young child who did an amazing job playing the principal.  Psalty was played by a 2nd grader and she did a terrific job also.

The message was about God's power and how He takes care of ALL things!  Below are some pictures.

Oh-before I forget, there was a celebrity you came to Ryan's program-it was Manny Pacquiao, the boxer.  He is HUGELY popular here.  He was in a fight not long after we moved here and when we came to Manila I had never heard of him but you can't help but know who he is because he is on billboards and signs all over town!  His children go to school at Brent and were in the program also.  When he entered the theater, everyone began to applaud which was nice and then people started holding up their cameras in an effort to "discreetly" take his picture!  That made me laugh!  You can read more about him here-

The program was wonderful and I think Ryan's favorite part was the flashlights at the end-
