Here is the last of our 'Summer Stories'. Check back soon for 2012/2013 updates and stories!
Dancer #4 -Erin Benson
Travel Plans- This summer my sister and I traveled to Ecuador to work at an orphanage called Casa de Fe. This was our fourth summer working with these kids and it was wonderful to be back!
Fourth of July- I spent the 4th of July hanging out with some of the kids that my sister sponsors through Compassion International. Visiting with these little ones makes me really want to meet the girls that I sponsor, but they live in Africa. Maybe another year ;)
Favorite Activity-This summer I had the opportunity to teach some dance classes at the orphanage. So much fun! Kids everywhere love to dance :)
I think their favorite part was trying on my shoes!
They learned how to do an Israeli folk dance..
..and how to skip across the floor together, giggling all the way
Summer Highlights- One thing that I really enjoyed this summer was craft time with the big girls. It was wonderful to see their individuality and creativity come out.
One of their favorite projects was making their own sandals....
...start with a regular pair of flip-flops...
...do some creative sewing...
...put it all together and you have beautiful sandals!
Another summer highlight was taking the kids on outings. This was a great way to give them one-on-one attention, and it was just down right fun!
Looking forward to the Upcoming Season- It is hard to believe that Ballet Emmanuel is starting its 7th season this month. God has brought us so far! It's been a privilege to witness His provision and faithfulness as He guides this company each year.
What I am most looking forward to this season is seeing the hand of God move. -Seeing Him move in the wonderful ladies who serve along side me, in the audiences that we perform for, and in the students that we teach across the country. It is such a blessings to see our amazing God at work and to be a part of what He is doing!
