Tuesday

Our last day - we are so sad! Alyssa is now "it" for the virus or whatever is going around. We arrived at the church and were saddened to learn that the church had been broken into during the night. The thieves took many tools and the fans. Juvenal called the police to file a report but we are sure not much will be done. The method of entry was bending the metal bars on the open window. For breakfast we had scrumptious egg/cheese/hame casserole along with really good bread. The group split into sports camp, wall finishing, and a few to hang around to plan the VBS for the day. Because we did not have tools for the wall, Samuel drove to get the needed items - so it was quite a while before we could start on the walls again. He also purchased welding supplies so he could weld the bars back on the window (we have now given him a Welder title and are now convinced he can do anything and everything). Melissa organized the items needed for the VBS of the day - the story of Noah's Ark. She was able to transport an ark made out of brown kraft paper and then prepared paper plates on popsicle sticker for the children to draw animals.
After the group from sports camp returned (it was very hot as there was not much wind today), we had a great lunch of a lasagne type dish with more of the great bread. The afternoon was spent working on the wall and playing with the kids. It is really fun to learn their games and they love the jump ropes from us! Rhonda and Stephanie worked on English colors and numbers. Melissa has now come down with the "virus" and went back to the hotel to rest before VBS.

VBS started later than planned but we have learned to be flexible. Melissa told the Noah's Ark story and several of us acted out the parts. After the kids colored their animals, they brought them up to put in the Ark. Then it rained! Yes, it really rained. Coincidence? I think not!

After VBS, we headed back to the hotel for quick showers before needing to return for the Farewell Worship Service.
