We are doing great. All are feeling well and doing ok in the heat. Weather is much cooler than last yr. Pastor Jasinto tells us today that they are up to 68 students at the new school! God is really working in the hearts of the people in Gualan! Here are some thoughts from the team:
DOLORES -- It´s been a really ¨buggie¨week! VBS in Gualan is going great with a bug theme. Children in both Gualan and Los Limones are singing God´s praises. Mosquitoes love me!
CAROL -- I´m amazed that the children always find room on the bench or around the table for one more friend. When I taught preschool we only fit 8 kids around! Here we manage to fit 12 or more and no one says NO TOUCHING ME, although the one on the end may fall off! My heart is so touched by the kindness I see the children showing each other. God´s love is definitely growing in their hearts. I am loving every minute!
GARY -- The weather has been wonderful. The pool has been refreshing each day. The puppets are enjoying themselves and have been entertaining the children.
CHERYL -- We had a great day with packing over 400 hygiene kits. Our students ages 11 - 13 formed an assembly line to complete the task. Painting continues at the school -- I´m enjoying watching this trip!
MICHELLE -- It´s been fun to realize that kids are essentially the same here as they are at home. They are so proud to show you their project so you can tell them "muy bien" or "excelente". They love hugs and smiles.
NANCY -- God is alive and well and working in the congregation of Gualan. The children are having fun as they grow in their faith. They really enjoyed the lesson of the Feeding of the 5,000. The team is doing a great job of continuing to build our relationship with our brothers and sisters in Christ at Resurrection Church.
We miss you all and will see you soon. Please pray for safe travel for us on Sat. and Sun.
Have a blessed day and be a blessing,
Nancy
