These are the high ropes course I was talking about in an earlier blog. We have to work together in pairs or fours to get across wires. It's an art.
Here's our view
This was our team
Haaa, land again!
Here we are on our last leg!
Almost!
Craft time
Will speaking and leading worship
Well we have had a full first week here. Today was our last day of camp. The campers left around 1pm and it was time for clean-up. One of the US teams also left today, but the RVCC team is still here with us.
We will be leading this team to Tela tomorrow morning. Dave and Esther have never been so it will all be new for us, but we are looking forward to a few days of relaxation and sleep. The RVCC team will leave for the US on Tuesday.
After they leave Dave, Esther and us will be pretty much on our own for planning for the Parkdale team. There will be another US team here when we return to Tela, but we won't be doing too much with them.
The campers loved camp these past 4 days. The time they experienced here this week, they have never had before. In Honduras most of the camps are just for kids to come and they get spoken too the whole time. There isn't much play and very little interaction. So it was so good to see that when it was time to leave they didn't want to because there experience was so different and amazing.
Will's first talk was a little on the rusty side. He had to have a translator as not all the Hondurans were fluent in their Spanish. So it was new territory for him. But with some pointers and extra tips from the speaker the week before he was able to hit home his message on Friday and Saturday night. Thursday night he spoke on fear and some of the things that hold us back from having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Friday night he spoke about the freedom we can have in Christ, when we give him our fears. Saturday night he spoke on living on the fence and how God has given us a free will to choose to follow him and lay down our nets, those fears, addictions, etc. that get in the way with having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and following Him with all our heart, soul and mind. At the end he got everyone to write down on a piece of paper the things that were holding them back from following Christ and laying it all down. They placed their papers in a box and burned them. He then gave an invitation to pray with him to recieve Christ into their hearts. A show of 13 hands went up and 10 of the 13 came to talk and pray with us afterwards. Most of them already had a personal relationship with Christ, but were unsure that they were still saved. So we talked with them and prayed for them. Many tears were shed and lives were transformed yesterday. PTL!
I think tonight is a wind down night with a movie in the main building. We just finished a steak dinner that was pretty good. I think I enjoyed by lunch today better though. Chicken, mashed potatoes for the first time since arriving, and veggies. MMMMmmm good. I tell you though they do love there re-fried beans. I stay away from those!
