Hello everyone!!  This is Allie from VIBES giving you an update.  This week so far has been great for the VIBES.  Yesterday (Tuesday) VIBES went to the orphanage to start our day.  There we started off just making bracelets with the teens, playing soccer, and just getting to know them.  Then we decided to do our VBS with them.  That went really well and they enjoyed it a lot, so we agreed.  That was awesome because we got to spend more time with the teens than expected.  We made really good relationships and connected with all of them, despite the language barrier.

Then we went to Refugio. The men were so happy to see us again.  We ran our day 3 VBS and had them do crafts to go with the lesson.  They had a lot of fun with that.  We played basketball, made bracelets, and just made deeper connections with the men,  A team from camp also came to visit us there and they were really impressed by what we were doing.  They gave us an award and told the whole camp about us.

Though we are upset we don’t get showers this year, our team has been doing really well.  It really is incredible how good we have been getting along despite how tired we have been.

See you all soon!
