A Beautiful Sight

The day started with a nice breakfast. We then moved on to group devos, followed by tye-dying some shirts wich was fun. Had a quick message from pastor John, ate lunch, then moved on to the fun part; Day camp started. It was so amazing to watch a group of local kids play and interact with us, who they had never met. The day went by so fast, just playing with the kids. After the kids left day camp we had a quick bite then got ready to go to the two housing projects. We got there and the kids just started hanging on us and playing with us. We ran the challenge circle and had a blast doing it! It was so cool (not in temprature) to see the kids screaming the cheers involving Jesus loud enough that the parents in the area heard. God is so good.

Prayer needs.
Please continue to pray for Andrews ankle.
Also pray for Madeline as she is feeling a little under the weather.

Poem!

Today was only monday.
But it sure was a fun day.
We played with balloons and got wet.
Now for the rest of the week we are set.
With the kids we did play,
but at the end of the day
the kids let us be
and have some swet tea.
