A week later....

Wow! Time is going fast....We are sorry we have not been able to update this, but since the team got here on Saturday, we have stayed very busy! We have only a few minutes before we eat breakfast and head out for the day, so we will give you the highlights since the last blog..


Thursday- We finished up VBS and had an awesome time with the kids! Many of the parents accepted Christ! YEAH God!

Friday- Day off and we hung out around our house, watched a couple movies with our host family and just relaxed.... it was a good thing since we haven't had time to do that since!

Saturday- We spent the morning at the church doing a kid's club outreach. This was like a mini VBS and we had about 20 kids there. We really enjoyed playing basketball, jumprope, bingo, doing puzzles, and coloring while talking about God! We were also anxiously awaiting the arrival of our team.... we went home and ate lunch, and then came back down to the church at 3:30. The team arrived around 4-4:30 and it was great to see some more english speaking friends! We did an orientation at the church and then they all went off with their families....We went back to our home and watched Facing the Giants ( One of our favorites!)

Sunday- A full day of worship! We had three services, where we sang, shared testimonies and had an a great day.....we definately felt God's presence today!

Monday- Work day at the church! We had devotionals with the team from 8:30-10 and then spent the day helping around the church. The kids and I spent most of the day painting the playground, they were a great help....I spent most of my time just holding the paint can and putting paint on the brush :-) We had an afternoon of fellowship and food with all the workers from the church, which was awesome....the rest of the afternoon was spent finishing up painting, and misc... for us. Steve spent almost the entire day sanding the church floorboards under the hot sun, with glass, and sandpaper..... one small incident with a shard of glass in his finger.... He was sanding with Don, Paul, Alberto, and Jason... Austin also was sanding for part of the day.....

Tuesday- Yesterday was a full day....8:30 devotions, 10:30 off to children's ministry( some problems with electricity, so no music. We had a very cool experience while we were all in a circle praying to get the electricity working. Steve prayed first, and then Rosa prayed in Spanish, and afterwards, Belinda told us that they prayed almost the exact same thing!!! It is great to feel God's presence among us!
