Our last half of the trip zoomed by us . . . via buses, semis, tricycle taxis, oxen, sloths, iguanas, and so on. So many new sights, sounds, and smiles.
Day 8: In Tronodora and Tileran, we divided into two groups in order to conquer two areas of painting--the administrative area of a school and the outside walls of a church. Breakfast was provided by the church people and how we enjoyed it--rice and beans, papaya and coffee.
Our painters perform spectacularly. We didn't even practice before we arrived, but we have several art students in the bunch, and they are excellent edgers.
After the VBS, we mingled in with the youth who came for a youth activity. Part of the crowd seemed quite resistant, but the Lord plants seeds, and our kids were used by him through games, conversations, and camaraderie.
Day 9 kept us in the same location with similar programs. In the morning we hosted the VBS in Tileran, and the afternoon, we helped with Pastor Manuel again with VBS and then with the youth. Such great energy filled the church during both activities. Praise the Lord for what he can do through friendships and fun, and especially through his word. We particularly enjoyed sharing the gospel through the mime, through special music, and then with Katy sharing her testimony.
