Friday -The Big School

Today we traveled to a remote town to minister in their school. This school has about 90 to 110 students in it. We were able to drive for 30 minutes and walk for about 30 minutes to get there. The route we had to walk was quite steep, but there is no other way. Thank you for all of you who are praying for the safety and strength of our group as it is evident every day that we travel.

Once we reached the school we were greeted by all the children. They all came up and greeted us 'Bueanas Dias' and shook our hands. It has been a long time since I shook hands with about 100 people at one time! What a pleasant way to feel welcomed.

At the school we divided the children up by age and activities. We played with the parachute, taught them about the solar system and the constellations, we read to them, and colored papers about God created the Earth.

We also had the opportunity to feed everyone in attendance. This is a special blessing for which our team is grateful to take a part in. It is amazing how they will form and orderly line and wait for their turn to receive their food. Each one is grateful.

We are having a great time and wish you all could join us. We look forward to returning and sharing our stories, pictures, and videos with you all. In the mean time we will continue to take every opportunity minister while we are here.
