Hey Everyone!
It was a beautiful day here... a little hotter than yesterday but no rain in sight! The kids came out in droves to hang out with us to sing and learn more Bible stories. The groups got to go out on the beach today because the weather was nicer. They loved being further apart than yesterday. :) It's hard to teach in close quarters with wild children. ;)
The young moms group is growing! They had 12 moms and some of their babies. They talked about same story - Jesus walking on the water. Mary Jo talked about the importance of touching their babies and baby exercises. These moms are so young sometimes that they have no idea how to parent well. They are excited to learn more. We are praying that they will take some of these lessons to heart. It is hard to put something new into practice.
The dental team has been giving lessons on hygiene as well as the cleanings. Some of the kids came back to the school today with clean teeth - and they were so excited that it wasn't scary! :) The dentists are praying before and during the dental work - so God's Spirit has been busy keeping the peace there.
Continue to pray for our energy levels. Wednesdays always feel long in VBS. The kids will be feeling extra comfortable with us - so they might decide to be extra rambunctious. Thank God for the lovely weather that we've had. One of our teammates pointed out that in the seven years that there has been VBS we've had no rainouts.

ReplyDeletePlease tell Lesley that Lindzey is doing better. I've talked with her twice today. She doesn't have as much pain in her chest even when the pain med wears off. She's been eating and drinking. Doesn't know when she'll be discharged.
God's blessings from Erin's Mom and Dad. Love you Miss Erin. May God continue to bless you and your team with good health, strength and courage to serve and gentle breezes as you minister to the Belizians of all ages.
ReplyDeleteErin, Hollingsworth's have a wedding Sat evening. Don asked if we could take you home from the airport. So, I guess you're stuck with Lesley 30 minutes longer.
