Hermana Lucha could really use your prayers. This past Sunday, on their way to church, they got in a motorcycle and motortaxi accident and were thrown from their taxi. If they hadn’t have landed in the grass like they did, they would have died. Instead, God protected them from receiving a single scratch. But Hermana Lucha and her grandkids were shook up from their experience.

We had an incredible turn out for VBS. 51 kids the first day, 25 on the second. The second day, it absolutely POURED down raining the whole hour before, the two hours of class, and an hour after. Being that these are all dirt roads, it becomes an absolute muddy mess. Typically, people do not leave their homes when it rains unless it’s a life or death emergency. We were completely shocked and thrilled with the turn out.
Ana and I were the only ones teaching, so it really was the perfect amount to show up. We did not have the 2010 VBS lessons, so we made up our own material. Our theme was obedience. We talked about Abraham the first day, and Sodom and Gomorra the second. We had songs, work sheets, and a special craft for each day. We had snacks and gave out little rewards to encourage good behavior. We decorated the walls. We did the same thing for all 3 of our locations, and on a budget of about $75. It was a BLAST! We officially begin Sunday School in Crosby on the 7th of March. VBS was a great way to invite the kids and get to know them a wee bit before hand.
