Today was another great day here in La Paz.  The day started with the children praying and singing for us.  Then came the great tasting eggs and tortillas.  Day 3 of VBS was about Jesus dying on the cross and then being raised for our sins.  There were about 70 children that attended VBS.  We were able to sing several songs for the kids at St. Lukes.  The craft today was a cross that the children were able to make for each other.  They were so excited to get the cross gifts from all of the wonderful children at St. Lukes.  For games we played tug of war (which is always a hit) and then water balloon toss.  The water balloon toss may be the happiest we have seen them during the VBS games.  English class was a great hit and Tia Millie and others did a great job teaching the kids how to say the parts of the body in English.  They cut out traces of their body and labelled each part. Audrey then had adult bible study for the women of La Paz.  As usually it was a big hit and they were so appreciative.

We played baseball with all of the children and had a wonderful time teaching them how to hit.  It was so impressive to see how well they listen and how good they are at a sport they do not usually play. Tonights devotion was about always trusting God.  The key theme was to have child like faith with God.  One of the most amazing things we have experienced here is how the children (with the love and help of Mama) completely trust  God.  They are so loving and caring towards us and everyone they meet. Please keep us in your prayers as we give the children as much love as possible and continue to help them trust one another.  This is truly an experience of a lifetime.  God bless and always trust in the Lord.
