200

So we are thinking the weather did play a role in the lower numbers for Wednesday as we had nearly 200 children show up for yesterday´s VBS. Today marks the final day of VBS and all of us are a little sad to see it come to an end. It´s going to be pretty hard to say goodbye to all the kids. It´s remarkable to see what an impact we´ve had on these children´s lives. As the last day of VBS, today we are going to give the children an opportunity to accept Jesus as their personal savior. Pray that these children´s hearts will be open and pray that they understand the decision that they might possibly make today.

Last night´s street evangelism was quite touching for many. The neighborhood we went to was only about ten minutes away, and many of the kids that showed up were kids that have been attending VBS. As we drove up the children mobbed the van and as we got out of the van, they began to sing ¨Sapo,¨ the most popular VBS song. At this point, I think a lot of us realized the impact that we have on these children. They all ran to hug us and followed us around while we went around the neighborhood inviting people to the service. The service had a great turnout- probably the most we´ve had so far. We set up games after the service, and it got a little crazy. We were in a pretty small area with so many people, and the games were quite popular. The toothbrushes and toothpaste were quite the hit! They were the first things gone from the prize bucket!

As I said earlier, we have our last day of VBS today. We will have our fiesta at the end where children can play games. After lunch, we have free time so many of us are planning to go shopping and use up the rest of our pesos.

Dinner is at Monrique´s tonight, and then all that is left is the trip home! I plan on updating before we hit the road.
