Everyone that was sick appears to be over it now. Everyone is out of bed and going about their day (although a few are still moving gently). So far, no one else has gone down.
We are wrapping up ESL/VBS today. It has gone well (thanks Dana for all your help), but it has had its challenges too. One group had about 25 kids each day, most of whom were very well behaved. The other group had between 50-75 each day, and most of those kids were a little less than well-behaved. The language barrier was difficult to overcome (even with the ESL stuff), but Terri and Nathanael have been translation machines this week. They are both pretty much brain dead now, but they've had a blast.
This evening the group is dividing for dinner. Carlos Calderon is taking his team to get pupusas as a "thank you." I think the other group is going to go get some pupusas somewhere else. We will spend the evening processing the week. Tomorrow, we are going to a local baseball game that some of the kids are playing in. After the game, we will head to the beach for a day to relax and continue processing all that we have seen/done/experienced.
Please pray that each team member is open to hear what God is saying to them. The next 24 hours could prove to be life changing for some in our group.
All of us here at home are so incredibly proud of each one of you! The posts and pictures have really meant a lot and helped us feel like we were part of what was happening. Hope you have a relaxing and fun week-end, and we'll be looking forward to all of your stories when you get back!
ReplyDeleteI echo Trish's thoughts - we are so very proud of who you guys are and what you have done in the name of Jesus:) You have honored Him and He is pleased. Enjoy the rest of your time together. We'll continue to pray and will be happy to welcome you home. Love you all!
