Today was awesome!
Surprisingly the early morning, which was only 7:30 but ya know, wasn’t rough
and only two people were late (I laugh as I type this). Anyways we ate our
breakfast and did a devotional as a group together then went on to do our Time
Alone with God other wise known as TAG time. After we headed to our first VBS
sight of the day. It was mainly little boys who showed up and not many girls so
it was cool to watch all of the guys interact with these kids and play soccer
and bond with them. David Halle showed his fluent Spanish by asking the kids
“como te llamas” and not know what to really say after. Our second VBS sight
was full of English speaking kids, there were also a lot of teens. It was cool
because we got to have full conversations with some of the kids and teens in
English and it was easier to minister.
We went to the centro after which is the center of the town and got to
walk around and test our Spanish by ordering things. Thank God we have Sofia
and Alejandro to help us out when needed during these times. At night we proceeded to eat dinner then have
worship and a service. The message was great. With our theme being we are all
one, I think our class is really achieving this by helping each other out at
all times and just loving on each other and the children.
