EBV (VBS)

Whew! We finished VBS tonight! After a crazy morning of running errands and eating lunch in the car to get to the church on time for our worker's meeting before VBS, we made it right at 1 and set to work on final details for today. We had VBS as normal, but afterwards, we brought all the kids in and practiced for the Parents' Program. During the Progama del Padres tonight, the kids sang the songs they learned this week and shared some of what they learned during teaching time. There was also a short time where Pastor Sam shared the Gospel with all the parents. Afterwards we gave out gift boxes to pretty much every child that came, giving priority to those that had received diplomas for attending all 5 days. 

This is Carmen and Marjorie. They were in the class I taught and helped with. During their snack time towards the end of VBS the last two days they have been constantly by my side talking to me and asking questions. Such sweet girls. I can tell my Spanish is improving by the fact I can hold decent conversations with so many of the kids. And also, I'm thankful because I was able to teach the lesson all in Spanish one day this week and have been leading the class in learning verses, reviewing the lessons and such on my own.
