Yes I am!!! (A kid!)
The VBS yesterday was really a great experience, for us, for the Venezuelans and for the kids as well. We went through craft times, story times and game times. I don't know whose idea it was, but the craft was to color in a precut "frame," then photos were taken of each of the kids. Then in the evening Ralph and Russ did all the work of getting the photos ready to print, so that today we are going to be able to pass them back out! How cool will that be?!?!?
We brought some playground balls (standard equipment in the US) and were surprised that the kids did not seem to be too familiar with them. Then we were even more surprised when they had never heard of 4-square!!! So, after putting the sidewalk chalk to use, we were ready to play. Once they got the hang of the rules, they were all over it! Amy and I noticed later in the day that the kids went over and initiated a game without any of the "gringos" being around to help keep it going. Success!
It was also a huge blessing to see the local church people working so hard to make the whole VBS a success. Wow - they were all so willing to jump in and serve and make a difference. This church is indeed going to make an impact (That is the name of the chuch - "Impacto").
Wifi doesn't always work like it does in the US, so it's not always easy to get pictures into the blog. But we will do our best!
Thanks for the prayers.
