First Day of VBS

Hola from Honduras!

This morning we woke up at 6 am. We started our day with prayers with the children and a wonderful breakfast. This morning we worked in the garden with the children, chopping up the mounds of dirt. The children helped with us and we were able to plant squash and other flowers. It was the first time for some to use a pick axe and a "whacking stick." Luckily no one chopped off any toes! We finished around lunch and we helped around the foundation and got ready for VBS. The children are out of school so we had all of the children during VBS. We had a little over 60 children today. Some of the children walked approximately 5 miles today in the 101 degree temperature. It was amazing! Today we talked about Palm Sunday! We made palms and sang "Hosanna to the King." We went outside to play clothespin tag and waterballoon toss. Make sure to check out the awesome pictures. The kids had a great time! What an amazing opportunity to witness to these AMAZING children!
