Well this morning was our last day of teaching vbs. The kids just love us more each day and didn't want us to leave. Cheyla invited me (Leah) in her house next door, it was so cute. She was very proud of her house and was so excited of introducing me to her mom. Before I left, her mom gave me a huge piece of watermelon, it's amazing how giving these people are.
After vbs we headed to the worksite once again and we are almost finished the wall building, it looks pretty good. It's amazing to see how much work you have to put into it. It's fun building relationships here. Our team is bonding pretty well with all the Peruvian boys, they are fun to work with. This morning a couple of the boys threw Elli in a big mud puddle and on the way home we got into a big water fight.
It was a pretty relaxing afternoon, either sleeping or journalling and after supper we headed over to San Antonio where there was another childrens/youth event. We went around and some of us shared our testimonies. When we were driving home, our taxi driver told us that this was the first time he heard somebody speak English. This guy was probably like in his 40's, so yeah that's pretty crazy and we felt pretty special for being the first ones.
Well, that's the wrap up for today. Thank-you for all of your thoughts, encouragement and prayers. Continue to pray for energy as we go throughout the hot days and building relationships will continue. May God bless you!

Hello Team ...
I especially appreciated reading your warm thoughts today -- as we are sitting here with our furnace not working, waiting for a service call.
I know we must learn to trust God in bad times as well as good.
It does sound like the people there are so warm and giving.
It is so good you are having the chance to share your faith.
Love Donna and Sara
