It was a beautiful morning
and we made our way to the church for breakfast at 8:00. We arrived at the church and had breakfast,
followed by devotions. We had a 2 that
were not feeling well, so 4 of the team went back at the hotel due to
sickness. Joseph (an AMG missionary) also
was sick, so he stayed home as well.
Regardless, the “show must
go on”, they say, and that is what we had to do. The rest of the team made their way to the
child care center and they ministered to 3 groups of kids – teaching, singing,
doing crafts and games. As one of the
team members described it, it is like a VBS atmosphere – a little disorganized
and crazy, but we are having a wonderful time presenting Gospel truths to the
kids.
Speaking of which, the team
is doing an excellent job using the children as props for the lessons, allowing
them to lead the singing and do the motions for the songs, I think the children
are really enjoying the things the team is sharing because they are involved in
the process.
The builders actually
finished the wall today – well, at least the brick portion. Tomorrow we need to put the counter top on
the top of the wall and it will be complete.
I have really enjoyed watching the men put the wall together, and today,
we took group photos around the completed “kitchen” and we included the kitchen
staff in the photos. I know they really
enjoyed being part of that celebration.
Speaking of which, tomorrow
we will be celebrating the completion of the second floor of the Spiros
Center. It should be an excellent time
of reflection of what God has done. It will
also be a celebration of Harrison and Harold as they both turn 15 this week.
After we finished our work
today, we drove back to the hotel, got cleaned up and went to Sarcletti’s for
dinner and ice cream. We went to Wong
afterwards to give the team a “shopping” experience where they were the
outsider in a “walmart” style store.
We returned to the hotel for
the wrap up – Susan went right to bed as she was not feeling well this
evening.
It
was a good day in all – we are praying for the health of the team, and that all
would be back to 100% by tomorrow.
