Last day of VBS and construction

Today was another great day for the Vacation Bible School and Construction teams. VBS was blessed with even more kids than yesterday which we estimated to be about 200, all with smiling faces. The children were able to work in the theme of "For where your treasure is, your heart will be also" Luke 12:34 by making treasure maps. Also, they learned new spainsh music that they all enjoyed and sang with great enthusiasm. In the recreational group, we were able to entertain the kids with the always popular baseball and smaller games such as cat and rat and musical chairs. With every different activity each child showed immense joy and never stopped smiling. However, saying goodbye to all these kids was very tough. With many hugs given and pictures taken, a feeling of accompishment washed over us but at the same time a feeling of sadness that we might not see some of these wonderful children ever again. This experience was life changing and seeing these wonderful children in VBS really opened our eyes to the kindness and joy that can be found all over the world in the children of God. - Tricia The construction team had another long and hot day out on the sight shoveling dirt and sand, tearing down a shed and salvaging the materials to be used again. Switching to construction for the last day I sholved and worked harder than I believe I ever have, luckily the hour drive back to the guest house gave me a great oppurtunity to take a long needed nap. However all the hard work has been so rewarding knowing that we are doing Gods work here. -Meghan
