Day 5: Success
The amount of love in the atmosphere around here just keeps growing. These kids have God's love spilling out of them, in everything they say and do. I'm more and more amazed by them every second I'm here.
After a lovely french toast breakfast, we headed to the chapel to wash feet and hand out shoes to the kids of the neighborhoods, some from locally known "cardboard villages" here in La Paz. These people live in towns where most homes are made out of cardboard or a tent. So, the kids recieved new socks and shoes and it was a great feeling to see them run away with a smile, admiring their new kicks.
After a little bit of playing with the ninos, our group divided and conquered into different teams. My team was Ellie, Carolyn, Scott, and I, we called ourselves "El equipo de pizza", the pizza team! We were in charge of making homemade pizza for dinner tonight. It turned out fabulous!!! The kids were very overjoyed to be eating it.
After a long day of playing basketball and futbol after dinner, we finally sang some songs and said our goodnights. The ninos enjoy the hokie pokie and "Zacchaeus en ingles." Hugs and kisses to end the day perfectly describe the mood down here. This is such an awesome way to be spending Thanksgiving Break, and a great way to be reminded of what we have, and how we can help those who need it.
God's Blessings,
Katie
