Today was another big success and blessing. We got a lot of rain and thunderstorms last night that washes away the dirt road that takes us up the mountain. Thank God our bus driver is as good as he is! He laughs when we tell him we can just walk if we need to. VBS went great. The woman led a puppet show for the kids. Youth made friendship bracelets and gave them to someone they cared about. We also gave the kids bracelets we made. Jim and Jessica taught the kids all about Jesus and how much he loves them and wants to be there friend. We finished in prayer and the kids all shared something they were thankful for. The people of Las Moritas continue to bless us and are so rich in spirit. There are so many lessons to take from this. We also painted the new benches we had built for the church. They turned out great and it was truly a team effort. There were many hands that left with paint on them. We are going to wash the feet of the people in the village tomorrow as a show of Jesus love and to set an example. We are looking forward to another blessed day. Stay tuned!
