; Hola! Well we had a very busy day but very rewarding day too. We headed out about 8:00am to go to the Nuevos Amigos School to visit with the children there (ages 2-4 yrs old); paint a new class room that was recently added; visit with children that are older and part of the Compassion Project there and then in the evening we went and had dinner with a few of the families that attend the Nuevos Amigos Church; at their homes - WHAT A BLESSING!!! So let me explain a little bit about the Nuevos Amigos school it is really cool. Shirley (Missionary wife at location) shared with us her intent and dreams for this mission. The intention is to continue to add another age level to the school each year so that the 4yr olds they have now will have classes and education for their 5yr old level next year and continue up to the ages of 12. The second dream she and her husband have is to give each of these children in this community that attend the mission/school the opportunity to DREAM! These little ones don't have much around them that look like great doors of opportunity - but Shirley and Tomas are doing a wonderful job by the grace of God to offer those doors to them. While there today we got to spend some wonderful interactive time with the children in their classrooms; at lunch and even outside just playing around. Hopefully the pictures indicate the sweet pleasure that was enjoyed by them and us today as we shared time just being together and having fun. We all had a blast. In between playing and serving lunches we painted one of their school rooms that had recently been added. We put a coat of paint on then played with kids; put a coat of paint on then played with the kids; put a coat of paint on then ... well I think you get it. Man it was a great time! We (the team) sat down this evening just to share about our day and the things that God was showing us or laying on our hearts. There were a number of things shared; and each of us are receiving blessing and awareness of how great our God is to all people and whispers in our hearts of what else can we do. We all hope that all of you who are sharing in our adventure with God are hearing a whisper from the Holy Spirit too. Thank you all for your prayers and support! We are having a wonderful time! Tomorrow - we go to another compassion project ... stay tuned!!!
