High day

Last Saturday we had a high day (since starting back up) of 26 in our kids club, 2 were visitors!  It was a chaotic morning of me forgetting things and Becca having to run back to the house in the rain to get them (since I was teaching).  But we praise the Lord for giving us a good morning of ministry.

School Anniversary

Today the school the girls attended (Promesa) celebrated their anniversary with a family day for the entire school. (Today was also a holiday in Peru).  The classes and parents were all divided into groups: green, blue, and red.  It was a great day!

Kids club

Today we had 18 in our kids club!  We reviewed the last 5 lessons that we have done on “El Libro Sin Palabras” (The Book Without Words).  The kids were able to buy toys and candy from our “tiendita” (little shop) with “money” they earn by participating in club.  They all seemed to really enjoy it!  We are so thankful for the privilege to minister to these children and their families.  Please pray for their salvation.  This morning I one of our review questions was “How do we get to heaven”?  The children answered me with “by reading the Bible”, “doing good things”, “praying”, “believing God”.  It was frustrating to hear them answer that way because we have taught and taught that Jesus is the only way to heaven. So we will keep teaching and trying to explain salvation in the simplest of ways and you all please keep praying!

Saturday Club

Saturday mornings are devoted to our kids club.  This morning we had a very good club! We finished up the Book Without Words so each of the kids got to make their own.  The book is five lessons that go by colors and pictures: Yellow = Heaven; Black = Sin; Red = The blood of Jesus; White = New Life; Green = Growth. Here are some pics from today:

Package arrives

As missionaries one of the best surprises of any day is to go to the post office and actually have something in your p.o. box!  Monday a package arrived for Natali and Neomi from their uncle and aunt in Turkey!  They were ecstatic to find what was inside.
