Wednesday we started off the morning with devotion led by Larry, who talked about the difficulties he encounters in his industry sharing his faith with non-believers. He shared that the verses that he falls back on to support his faith are those that remind us of God's love. He read from 1 Corinthians, listing what love is and what it is not. We got to work after that, mixing more cement (most of us) and doing more work on the houses. After lunch the women of the group were led by the children to see one of their houses, where the famous Mickey Mouse lives (Mickey is a pet rat). We followed along to the basketball court/ soccer field and played for awhile, and the girls collected bouquets of flowers for us during our walk back to the church. Bible school was the story of the Prodigal Son, and we reinforced the lessons of the previous days (not sure the littlest ones will remember - when I asked if anyone could name one of the fruits of the spirit, one little girl called out "strawberry!"). After talking about how God always forgives, and welcomes us home with open arms, we brought out the kids favorite game - parachutes and beach balls! Wednesday was our night away from official activities, so we all went to our favorite Zacapa restaurant, El Establo, for pizza and cervezas. More photos soon!
