We woke up to a beautiful morning, with a great view of the active volcano outside out our windows. And every morning we are served a wonderful breakfast at our hotel, so we get going with great energy.
Today was our first day of VBS. And it turned out great. God brought us about 30 kids to the program. We start off singing several songs in Spanish, to which some of the Costa Rican teens made signs for. Then we do a skit called "Little Man" in which we teach a typical Bible character a modern day skill. And it is hillarious! You will just have to see it on video when we return! We read a bible story, and then break off into two smaller groups to continue the Bible lesson. As some of you know, it is very difficult to teach through a translator. But we did our best! We then played some great games such as Pato-Pato-Gonzo (that's Duck-Duck-Goose to you) and other trust games such as leading a blind folded person around the church lot.
In the afternoon we started our work project of a cement walkway for the new children's classroom. Today we just got part of the hole dug.
Continue to pray for our safety, and that we will get great opportunities to share the gospel with these children!
Pray also that God will continue to show us how to be selfless servants to each other, and the Costa Rican people.
