A tough, but beautiful day.

Well, tonight I come to you with a full heart. Tonight we found out a classmate passed away of Nic, Abby, and Amy. It was a tough night. But it was a beautiful night as well. Seeing the youth come together and support one another in their grief and pray for each other was a beautiful thing to see. One of the students phoned home and their Mom told her the news. It was totally the right thing to do of the Mom. All night tonight the kids kept saying that it was the right thing to do. They all wanted to know before they came home. Your kids are awesome. Truly.

The day started early. We had to meet for prayer at 7:15 a.m. We then took the bus to LaLimonada. It was a fulfilling day in many respects because so much physical work was accomplished, but also challenging dealing with the language barrier in the Bible School. We learned a lot and hope to get better by learning each day how to do things better! Hopefully tomorrow will be less chaotic! The children though are so clingy! They just run up to us and hug and kiss us and want to climb and be held by us! Starved for attention!

Tonight some of the many Yea God's we had were:

-translaters! :)
-cell phones (to connect with home)
-adorable kids
-positive attitudes (our kids have such great attitudes!)
-safety
-supportive group members
-hugs
-big guns! (a.k.a. muscles!)
-beds!
-Tita and her work
-strong faith and being able to pray

Our schedule for tomorrow is much like today. Hope some of you enjoyed your phone calls home. Many of you still get to look forward to that!

Continue to pray for us, even though you're receiving good reports. We need the prayer. We can do NOTHING without His help. Thank you for the support!
