Today was a great day!! We got so much accomplished in not even 24 hours. Even more kids were at VBS this morning. They just keep coming. I believe they know we will leave tomorrow, and I know that both them and we are sad to see this week end. They try to hug you as much as possible and love on you. I feel as though they are loving on us more than we are loving on them.
Tomorrow is the last day of VBS, then they will have an ending service where parents are invited to come and celebrate with them.
The pictures I put on today are of where some of the kids live. These places are horrible conditions, and are miles and miles away from the church. Also, some of the kids loving faces. :] You can see why we love them so much, and don't want to leave them here in this city.
Bro. Kevin has a lot to share, so I'll let him take over.
Bro. Kevin:
I believe if we had 15 passenger vans we could bring over 200 kids to VBS every day. Bob is carrying 15 kids plus him in his trail blazer! There are 25-30 kids in the 80's model dodge van that Rozeta owns. This morning Bob had as many kids as he could in his chevy and while he was leaving there were several kids chasing his vehicle wanting to come. There was no room for these kids. The children of Guadalupe are so hungry for attention. The kids are so packed into Bob's Chevy that he opened his hatch at the church and a 5 year old boy fell out like a bag from walmart. Right on his head! He shook his head, got up and ran in. No problems. Please pray for us tomorrow, we will present the gospel to the children of Dios Es Amor. Pray for a great harvest! The block party was a great success in Guadalupe. When we pulled up for the block party it was so cloudy. The rain began to fall, but we prayed for God to clear the sky. This is the honest truth. In less than 5 minutes the rain stopped and the sun came out. So much so that my head was burned. It never rained again while we were there. We had 50 people show up and they all heard the gospel! The team did the card board testimony presentation and it was powerful. It was a great success! Right in the shadow of the virgin of Guadalupe statue, we shared the truth of Jesus Christ with 50 people! We also went to the La Bufa today. It is the highest mountain in Zacatecas. La Bufa means "Bull's bladder." I kid you not. It is a steep climb to the top, but a few of us braved it. At one point today I was the tallest person in town! I risked my life today. There was a zip line from the top of La Bufa, I did it and it was awesome. It was thrilling. The group bought some great souvenirs for family and friends. I love you all so much and it is a privilege to serve these people in the name of Valley Creek and Jesus Christ. Tomorrow we are going to a town called Plateros to visit. We are all getting homesick.
Alright everyone. Hope you like the pictures. I'll try to post more tomorrow. We all love you so much, and am missing you all.
Update: Luke is feeling 100% better. He woke up this morning and felt fine, and has been doing everything like everyone.
Love you all!
Dios Le Bendiga!
-The team
