Getting to know Popoyoapa

The day's plan: get to know the children and find the supplies needed.  Upon arrival, the church of Popoyoapa provided us with snacks and drinks to show their appreciation for us coming to help their church. Getting to know the children around Popoyoapa was an exciting experience.  At first, the children were very timid and shy.  Their shyness was quick to disappear when soccer balls, frisbees, and a parachute were brought into the pitcure.  Today, the men of the church dug a hole for the septic tank and all of the supplies were purchased.  The supplies for the construction of the church was a long success: two nice sink cabinets and light fixtures were donated as well as free delivery (which is not common here).  After unloading all of the materials from the vans, our group met back at the hotel for a yummy chicken dinner and a devotion.  The devotional was based on individual reasons for us being here to carry out God's work.
