So, today was a awesome day. This morning around 7 30, we went to the institute where the youth here in nauta are learning english. Sarah, Sarah and i had the floor for a class period. We broke up into groups, and helped them with there english. This was really good for me, because while i was helping them w- english, i was able to really practice my spanish. This was an awesome opportunity for us. After class we were able to invite the students to come to a youth event at the church tomorrow night, where Sarah will be speaking. pray for the youth here. some of the students we invited dont all know Christ, so this will be an awesome experience to share the gospel with them. After we went to the institute, we met up with the kids and went to play basketball, volleyball, and soccer. The kids are soooooo precious. We ended up playing in the rain and were soaked by the time we ended back at the house. We figured since we were already a mess, we might as well get a little muddy. Well sarah ended up throwing the first pile of mud and it ended up in my mouth. next thing we know....all the kids are out in the street and we were all in a huge mud fight. We were a mess. We all ended up walking down to a little water hole and the kids dumped buckets of water on us to clean us off. We had SOOOOOO much fun today. i am so excited to be here for two months, and really dont want to imagine what it will be like to leave these people. i have only been here for 4 days, and have already built great friendships, and wonderful relationships with the children. Sarah is awesome with the kids and we feel so blessed to be down here in nauta. Continue praying for us, and the community here.
So, it's ironic that "there english" should be "their english"!!! Right!!
ReplyDeleteIf that is the only observation you were able to glean from this entry, then you really missed the point. How sad....
ReplyDeleteYou guys look like your having such an amazing time....Im glad you have a blog so I can see what you guys are up to and amazing things you are doing for the children and people...Love you girls, be safe and have an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a ton of fun! Do you get to see the same kids every day or different ones? Keep being positive and enjoying each minute! This is the day the Lord has made... :)
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered why the children flocked to Jesus. I'm sure it wasn't because of his sermons and teachings (amazing as they were) I think Jesus was a "play in the rain mud fight" kind of guy.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you have such a trail of children around you all the time. I think you are on the right track - keep it up.
Thanks for such an enjoyable post and photos!
