Friday Blog

Today everyone attended VBS for our final day. There were over 50 kids again today and once again a group of kids were desiring to learn more about Christ and were presented the e-cube. The teenagers that had been a little bit stand-off-ish all week finally warmed up to us beyond playing soccer and basketball. We had the opportunity to share the e-cube with them after buying them some cokes, and one of them is a believer. The park where we held VBS all week is the neighborhood hangout for a couple of the older kids who deal drugs and are heading down a dark path. We discussed the options that these younger teenagers have before them regarding eternity and the choices they have before them, comparing what they see right in front of them. The older kids fully joined in by the end of VBS, which was a small miracle in itself. Rolland and Jo Ann Smith will continue to work with a local couple who is running an AWANA program from their house and attempt to follow up with many of these kids in the housing project.

We went to Pollo Argentina for a delicious lunch of bbq chicken and carne asada. Marcos and Sweet Cheeks prefer the spicy taco choice, but for most in the group this was the consensus favorito restaurant for the week.

Tonight we will have our final time together and will read from scripture and give testimonies as to what Christ accomplished over this past week. Thank you all so much for your prayers back home!
