8/14/14: Day 165: Gainesville VBS

I enjoyed a wonderful night of sleep after three nights in the hammock. I spent two hours catching the blog up. Then I got a call asking for the keys at the church building. I went and opened the doors and helped load some equipment. Then I went back to the house to finish getting ready and then went back to the church again. Lucky and I rode up with Carlos to Inmaculada for the VBS. We divided into groups of two to an interpreter. We only had a few minutes to canvas the neighborhood so I was able to do the interpreting without any trouble. We had about 40 kids show up at 10:00. The VBS was a skit followed by games and candy which lasted until 12:00. Then I went to the market to get some more candy with the leader of the Gainesville group.  We had pupusas for lunch cooked at the church building. Della came and I showed some of my origami to everyone. The second round of VBS went from 2:00 until 4:00. When it finished we packed up everything and then went out from the church for some shopping. Westin bought me a Crepe! It was banana and Nutella and yummy. It rained pretty hard so we all ran for shelter. Then we had bible study in Ataco from 5:30 till 6:45. One of the girls from the Gainesville group asked if she could read before the study started. She read the first five verses and didn’t know how to read Spanish very well at all. She didn’t know the ll or that h was silent. Samuel told her she could read the first five verses of the 28 verse chapter and then he would take over. When it came time for her to read she read with near perfect pronunciation and fluency! She had totally faked us off! When she finished reading the first five Samuel said with surprise in his voice “feel free to keep going”.
