One More Day in the Bario

Wow,

What a busy couple of days! Lets see......yesterday was great, we had some time to work on the school and put up another wall.....yes indeed, I can now drywall. Also Kris and I did some painting. after lunch we set up and got ready for over 30 women to tak about prayer and then make prayer boxes. These are boxes for them to write down their prayers and then look back at them to see what God has done. It was a great time for them to fellowship with eachother, and for us to bond with them too.

Today was an early day in the bario with the kiddos......so little (wish I could upload photos!!!!!)and so precious. you'll see. we did "centers", so they could rotate and do a craft, hear a story, and then have a snack. So many hugs and kisses today, they are getting to know me and call my name when we pull up in our taxi....sometmes they start runnning and waving as we drive by - I think I might have a hard time saying goodbye tomorrow. I wish Darrik and the kids were here to experience this....they would love the people here.

The afternoon and evening was devoted to the youth in the bario. We had a very fun relay race - The peruanas against the gringos. we lost of course by a milisecond thanks to me falling 3 times on my face in the rocks....Im ok.....at least they had a great laugh at the white girl that is clumbsy. serously...they were laughing so hard! then Kris (she is a 20 yr old U of A student)gave her testimony and a lesson on leadership.....the vision of project new hope international is the train up leaders so they can become self sustaining communities. Anyway, the night ended up with some food and fun games with the teens. We had to leave.....seemed too soon.

good night all,
Tori
