While the majority guys were working hard with getting rid of the unwanted cement, the remainder of the group set out to defeat our own challenges. We separated into two group and set out to evangelize and invite children of the community to come play and learn about God with us. With this experience, comes enlightenment for the area in which we are working. You get to know the people you are here to support; be it their personalities, curiousities, living situations, or willingness to listen. You get to learn your own limitations or bet yet you get to exceed what you thought were your limitations. This has become a favored part of the trip for me; when it used to be something I ran from.
Once we got back to the church, we had lunch and awaited the arrival of the children. It was during this time that power was lost to the whole area, which thankfully gave our construction men a guiltfree lunch break!
Once the children arrived, Andres lead the group with an exciting energizer! Stacy gave the message for the children about Joseph and how God uses different situations in life to help you, good and bad. The children then got to color a picture to go along with the story! Then came plaza time...time to play with the children! We had to share the plaza with a community soccer team but that didn't stop the fun! We played soccer, frisbee, and parachute. We talked and played and watched!
We finished the day off with a dinner at a local restaurant!
As always, we appreciate your continued prayers and support!

Wow the guys do look hot! Hope they were able to cool off and get some ready. It's pretty hot here in South Care but we're not out working in it. I always live to see the pictures with th kids. They look like they're having a great time.
