Last Days of VBS

Friday was our last day of VBS. It was a great week despite the sickness our team was experiencing halfway through the week. The kids loved it and many of them were sad that it was over. Some of the kids were crying that it was over.

Saturday we were able to travel to Copan, 4 hours away, to relax and re coup. It was a great time to see another part of Honduras. We also went to see the Copan Ruins, which were built by the Mian tribes 200-900 A.D. There was a lot of information to retain and very interesting.

Today we started back to our work projects again. The guys worked on the cabins and painting of the house and the girls went to the school to 'level' the English books for the English classroom and library. What a BIG job! We had to first go through all the books and figure out which ones we wanted to keep, then clean them off as they all had a layer or two of dust on each book and then put a grad level on them. It will take us awhile to finish.

William was able to connect with Patrick, his field ed supervisor this morning, and we're hoping to make a trip to an orphanage on Wednesday together, as well as visit the Cam International training school. So we are very excited about these two opportunities.

Thank you for praying for the team as we had some health issues. We think a flu bug went around and the team was also trying to get used to the food. Most of the team are on the mend, Praise the Lord. Some stayed at the camp during VBS, so we all pulled together to fill in the holes. We are still waiting on the rest of the materials for the cabins. They were to arrive last Saturday, but we're praying they will come tomorrow.
