What a full day!
In the morning we painted a home that a Christian children's home (for kids whose parents cannot take care of them) has bought to house their over-18 kids who can no longer stay at the children's home. We’ll be finishing that tomorrow night.
This group of students is impressive. They work hard and don’t complain (at least not where the teachers hear it). They also take the initiative to serve. They are conscientious of the culture and the people here. Miss Clements calls them "Team Awesome."
The children's home supplied us with lunch. Rice and a stew-like topping, with cabbage salad on the side. Then we went over to a “finca” (in this case, like an outdoor recreation park with pool and soccer field and covered patio for having "asados." There we helped with a VBS for about 50 kids from two neighborhoods. It was well organized and our students jumped in with whatever Spanish they knew, and with gobs of love and hugs and smiles.
We had supper at the Hamburger Factory (but some of us had ribs or beef steak). The portions were so large, many of us had to share.
Back at the Salley's (our hosts), we had our team meeting, devotions, and praise. Great focus on our purpose as Sojourners in this world.
