Day 6 (Saturday - June 27)

We finished 3 more houses to push our total to 19! Last night during devo, one of the students shared how he thought it was awesome how it was pouring the rain as they were finishing and it demonstrated what they were providing this family with....shelter.....a place to get out of the rain and mud and to have at least some type of comfort.

We also completed our 2nd VBS of the trip. This VBS was at a small village outside of the city. We again had around 100 children! This particular VBS was amazing! We sang some Spanish songs, watched a Spanish Veggie Tales video, made two crafts, and then Cary shared with them the story of Jesus washing his disciples feet. We then brought the children up a few at a time and washed their feet and then gave them a new pair of flip flops or crocs! It was such a special moment! The entire VBS crew, which included all of the West Orange group, was very much moved and humbled by this experience. As amazing as that was, it got even better. The adult Hondurans who stayed and watched the VBS were so authentic with their praise of our crew. They said a prayer for us, hugged us, and even sang a song for us! It was truly an experience I will never forget, nor will our students!

We finished up the day with a group outing to play soccer. It was a great time of fellowship and bonding for the entire mission team. Things here are going great!

Lindsay and Marcia are flying home this morning (Sunday), please pray for their safe travel.
