Wow! It is awesome here in Costa Rica. Today was our second day of Vacation Bible School at the park across the street from the church. Both days there were about 35 children and many parents. God is so good! We didn't get any rain until today and even then when had just finished up.
Cindy has been witnessing to a single mother of six. She is from Nicaragua and works cutting down sugar cane. She said she has been to the church a couple of times but to this point has not made a commitment. Please pray for this overwhelmed mother.
Day 1, we became acquainted with the children and shared God's message. The children were very enthusiastic and repeatedly asked if we would be back tomorrow.
Today, we sang songs, Donna and Cindy shared a skit, and then Donna presented the salvation message to the children. John, Sarah, and Jennifer played soccer with the kids, while Donna, Holly, and I helped the children make salvation bracelets. They love crafts!
When playing "pato,pato,gonzo" (duck, duck, goose) Sarah, John and Jennifer were chosen by the kids sooo... much. Sarah fell from exhaustion, but she is ok. HaHaHa
A gift given to all was an animal print visor. John got one and said it was his construction hat then proceeded to do construction in it. What a funny guy.
The kids also loved playing elbow tag. They are supposed to latch onto your elbow to release the other player. While attempting this they ran full speed into us and each other tackling you. We all had a great time.
