Dia Cuatro...

Hola! Today was yet another beautiful day at the Children of Love Foundation here in La Paz. We started off today with getting up at 6:15AM and saying our morning prayers with the children. After getting ready, we split up to do small projects around the foundation. Some of us helped transport plants around the Chapel, while others occompanied some of the children to the dentist. For lunch we enjoyed some delicious tortillas with cheese and salsa, and also some fresh watermelon. Later this afternoon, VBS began, and how much fun it was! For our craft the children made two more resurrection eggs, and a book mark with their own special message, or drawing, on it of what they had learned today. For dinner we served the VBS children ham and cheese sandwiches, which were made by the wonderful volunteers! Once everything had calmed down, we had a little free time to shower and rest (and let me tell you, a cold shower has never felt better than after playing with these kids outside for 2 1/2 hours!!). For dinner we had ham, beans, and scrambled eggs, and to drink they served us Coca Cola. Once dinner was over Mama Doris lead us to the Chapel, where the children here at the foundation prepared a surprise for all of us. One by one, they called one of us up, and they each said something special about that person. Believe me, there were very few dry eyes in the Chapel after that! We then ended with our nightly prayers and good nights, and are now ready to rest and prepare for tomorrow! Buenas Noches mis amigos! Hasta manana!
