Day Siette

Day Siette

The day dawned and like a pack of vampires being burned in the sun light every one complained about the time they had to get up, the halls sounded like the Zombie apocalypse with all the groaning and moaning on the way to the main hall for breakfast. Breakfast was simple eggs with ham. Each day we get quieter and quieter at breakfast as the tiredness has set in.

Jacob got a little dehydrated and stayed back but helped the Mexicans prep VBS with Christine and by lunch he was back to normal.  We then went to the shanty town in San Pedro and gathered all the children. We ran a couple soccer drills, then we shared the gospel, had Blaine, Shannon and Jocelyne share what God had done in their lives. then we closed with a game of soccer... sorry fotbul with Mexicans against Canadians in the 40 degree heat. We had them on the ropes until Jocelyne got in the way of a shot Alexis was about to save and we watched our victory roll away in slow motion in to the net.... and we lost against the children. but it was a lot of fun.

We had salad for lunch, with meat and Salsa Verde we loved it. Martina the cook also made a delicious broccoli and garlic soup that we all loved except Jocelyne she wanted mushrooms in it. Too picky j/k we have all tried food that we were not sure we have liked and been glad we did. We will be sad to leave the food behind. More than once it has been suggested we take Martina with us once we return. But her family will be sad and the border guards would be unhappy so I guess we will leave. The cake is a lie (comment if you understand)

VBS was a bunch of fun we are don’t the main part and tomorrow is the festival. We are both sad and rejoicing about that fact. We loved the children and enjoyed giving them hugs and playing with them but our bodies though sustained by the holy spirit are tired and crying out for a break in the action to rest and recuperate.

Jacob helped teach the evangelism classes in the butterfly room with Jacob. Jacob was in charge of the science experiments. All throughout VBS Jacob has been the science man with an object lesson to explain the gospel. You sucked an egg yolk into a bottle, used dye, oil, Alka-Seltzer and water to show   that Jesus blood changed us and the Alka-Seltzer sent the water up to the top part of the bottle that represented God showing that Jesus blood brings us closer to God in relationship. It was awesome seeing Jacob help in the evangelism room with victor. Jocelyne and Taya taught rhyming games in the snack room, all the kids enjoyed their silly camp songs and games. They had a bunch of fun and the kids enjoyed the English songs. The rest of us continued to help in our groups loving the kids and keeping them in line as well so they would be able to participate in that stations activities.

Lastly today we went out for Dogos (Mexican Hot Dogs.) The gentleman who served us was a Dogo ninja. He literally served 15 of us a hotdog, french-fries and a drink in under 15 minutes. His hands where a blur and the food was delicious. They wrap their hotdogs in bacon and then you add cheese, onions, chorizo sausage and basically anything else you want. They are very good. The buns are a little sweet and compliment the Dogos perfectly. The Mexicans also came and joined us but the best part of the evening for me was just a great talk with one of our youth as everyone hung out and enjoyed the night.
