Kids
The first night we did a children's program we had 40 children. They didn't know there was going to be a program. They heard the singing, and they showed up. The next night there were 70 kids, and they next night we handed out 100 stickers to 100 eager beavers, and ran out. We now consistently have 120 kids at our program each night. I usually go to bed somewhat hoarse, and always exhausted.
They are energetic and attentive and a little wild. They love to sing, and they love to color even more. It has been a challenge since we carefully planned our six-week program with copies and activities for a maximum of 50 kids each night. But every minute is worth it. Whenever they burst into the Spanish version of "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus," which is "He Decidido Seguir a Cristo," I feel like crying tears of joy.

Ansley,
I have really enjoyed reading all of your blogs! It makes me long for such an experience. When you come back to the states, will you be around the SAU area some more, or are you done with that? I would love to get together sometime if you're coming back this way. May God bless you as you continue to serve and grow closer to Him!
