So this week has been an amazing week so far. Right now we have all the short termers done here and I have had the oppurunity to not only hang out with them but also hang out with each of the 40/40 pairs that are down here.
The first day I got to hang out with them was saturday. I got to go out with Beth and Nohemy and help them and there short termers. We went into and area I have never been in before and we painted nails. We also made ballon animals and painted the faces of the little kids. Then some of the short termers put on a puppet show and the kids loved it. That day we also got a couple contacts for Beth and Nohemy to follow up on.
On sunday I went to church and then got to go with Wenday and Vanessa with there short termers to help teach an english class. They taught them how to say there name and where they are from in english and we at the same time got to learn to say those things in spanish. It was a really cool day.
On tuesday I got to go with Henrietta and Mapi and their short termers to a school. They played soccer with some of the kids during their break and we also played volleball with them. Then we talked with a english class and told them a little bit about ourselves. Then our group preformed a skit for the kids which led to Mapi and Henrietta getting some more contacts. After that we went back and met up with the rest of the group who were doing a dinner for some ladies. The 40/40 shared their testimonies with them and prayed with the women. It was an awesome night!
Wednesday I went out to Miraflores with Elisabeth, Sammy, Rueben, Gladis, and some of the other short termers. we put on a kids fesitval. We played with them made balloon animals, painted faces, sang some songs, and put on a puppet show. Most of the mothers of the kids were there so we preformed a skit for them. After the skit the people who spoke spanish (which is not me yet) prayed with the moms and there is a plan to go and continue to visit the mothers is this area. It was amazing.
It has been great to go out with these different groups because I not only get to see the 40/40's in action but I also get to see how God is working in the lives of diffrent people. It has been and amazing week! (I know I keep saying amazing but it is the only word that is good enough to describe it!)
