We had an astounding day. Our portion of the team was responsible for church at Carmen Bajo and I was so proud of them. They ran all the Sunday School Classes and the entire service. It was amazing to watch our youth and Carolyn lead the worship, the drama team do their drama, Janelle preach a sermonette, lots of our team shared their testimonies and God was totally glorified. The Carmen Bajo youth did a dance and the people surrounded the team and prayed. I spoke about "amazing love and amazing grace" and did my Jesus thing.
In the afternoon we actually went to a beautiful park and spent a few hours relaxing, sharing and eating pollo (chicken that was quite good). This evening we spent prepping for VBS that will happen each day for the next 3 days at Carmen Bajo Community. 20 of the big team will do VBS while the other 41 will either be involved in construction or in visiting homes in this poor community. We will do this for the next 3 days days and change gears.
I am going to try to get some of the youth to add to our blog in the next few days.
