VBS, and last 2 weeks of plans! =by Denise

Hello again! We feel so bad that we have had such limited internet on our last several weeks here! We sure hope they get wireless working again soon! They keep telling us tomorrow.
We are counting down ....only 12 days left here! It's been busy! We had a VBS for the Baptist Church last week. They picked up kids from all over and brought them by the truckload - in the bed of the pick-up truck to the church. We had 52 to 72 children all week! We're so glad the Weber family, Marge and 3 daughters were there to help us!!! The church said they'd not had such a club before like this one.. We used Child Evangelism Fellowship materials, and did a Bible Story, a gospel presentation -using the evange-cube, surprise bag, holiness cube, etc , a Missionary story, and a craft each day. We had our new friend, Jose ,to translate to Spanish for us, but he was late a few times, so we got to use what we've learned. Many children responded with wanting Christ as their savior and many came up to us later to say that they know Christ too. We stressed the gospel and the 5 colors to help remember it. The pastor loved it and is now leaving up the giant 5- colored chain we made and having a goal by February to give 50 school children school supplies and backpacks made of the 5 gospel colors to help spread the gospel. Exciting to see God working there! L eon didn't come, because his knee got his with a fast baseball during umpiring the game Saturday morning. It all worked out best because most parents didn't show up either, so it turned out to be aimed for kids.
This weekend, a lady in the church has asked to take the girls and me house to house to visit to families about purity , boyfriends, purpose, living for Christ, ...... she has certain families in mind who want to learn more about raising girls and protecting them, because so many go to the pharmacy at 12 years old for birth control shots, and seem to have no training or knowledge of any other way. Please pray for us since we can only have a general idea, but need the Lord to give right words at the right time.....and these are spanish speaking people, so pray that we'll remember the words too! We will have a 12 yr old Christian girl helping translate too.
Starting tomorrw and a few days next week , we will be conducting a sign language class. Please pray that God gets the glory for all that is taught and discussed there. Tatiana and Leon, and possibly some of the Spanish teachers will come to that.
We're checking again on renting the theater to show the Jesus Film. The man went out of town and returns tomorrow -Thursday. We will try to keep you updated.
Amanda an Andi have such bad allergic reactions to sandflies. The pharmacist goes to our church too, and has helped prescribe the right treatments for the girls' spotted, swollen, red, oozing, itching, infected legs ...and arms. It seems to be working this time with stronger medicines.
We' re so happy to have the Webers here with us. We've booked our flights to San Pedro Sula on the 30th together. Our friends, Jose and Diana, will take us to the airport by 5am that morning. Makes it feel real that we'll be home soon. All, except Amanda, are very happy about that too! But we think in a few years we'll need to come back again! Bye for now! ...and we love you!
