The Park Team…

On Sunday we picked up some kids and went to the park.  We did creation for that day and our craft was a creation wheel that showed every day of creation and we also did a skit where God walked around and brought up each person which represented each day of creation.  I feel our team made an impact on day 1 by showing the kids how we care and making them lunch.  Even though the kids didn’t necessarily get the full point of the skit and the craft, they understood more on Monday – day 2.  This day the craft was a burning bush craft with tissue paper and we did a Moses and burning bush skit. We also made the peanut butter sandwiches and when the kids saw we had food they swarmed us, but it was really heart warming to see them smiling and playing.  The kids mostly loved it when we played songs.  They danced and sung along with us.  We are looking forward to making a big impact and leaving a mark in the next three days.

VIBE update…

On Sunday we went to the foster home, Una Salida, for the first time.  We met all 21 boys & girls and tried to learn their names.  In the end, we changed our crafts and made name tags and decorated them in order to remember their names.  The girls loved making bracelets and braiding hair and the boys mostly hid from the swarms of girls and played soccer with Maria and Ari.  After Una Salida, we went to Refugio de Amor, the men’s facility.  Sunday was our second day at Refugio, so we tried to do our VBS and crafts.  The men only wanted to make bracelets and play soccer.  We ended the day at the build site, eating the amazing dinner prepared by Yadira, Karina, and the young adult team.

Monday update coming soon!
