Wed. from Pam and Chris

Today was our first day to "work" here in Peru. We staqrted the day at the school at Monte Sion Church. It is a small school with lots of kids, grades K-6. While the kids were working on school work, we were doing various jobs. We scraped paint, sanded doors and windows, varnished the windows, and then began painting everything. Everyone was excited to be working and it's a blessing to see how much work we have already completed. We left the school and came back to Villa Milagro to eat lunch. Once everyone was rested, we went back to Monte Sion for a Vacation Bible School. We had prepared various crafts, songs, Bible stories, recreation games, and a special surprise that we thought the kids would enjoy. What we weren't quite prepared for was the number of children that would show. There were close to 200 children that came to learn about Jesus. The kids enjoyed everything, especially the surprise--puppets. Who would think that puppet show could ever get an encore?
