Rainy Tuesday - Day 2

This morning we woke up to heavy rain and wind. We arrived to First City Baptist on time but due to complications with transportation, Holiday Club started a little later and unfortunately with less children. Despite the slow start today proved again to be a day full of love and energy.



Our theme for Holiday Club is "God Smile's When I..." and today the phrase was completed with God Smiles When I Show Peace and Gentleness. To illustrate this we told the story, "Jesus Calms the Storm." The children enjoyed a day full of learning, singing, creating picture frames, and expending energy in recreation.




In the afternoon we continued with our group renovation projects. As a result of the rain the school building flooded. One of the renovation groups was in charge of attempting to clean out all of the ruined toys and carpets. Please pray that we are able to restore the building and replace the many toys, stuffed animals, books and carpets that were ruined before school returns in a week and a half.



We all are enjoying this trip more than we could express in words. God is truly moving in each of our hearts. The children we are coming in contact with have needs that stretch far beyond imagination. They have already experienced more things in their 3-9 years of life than we could contemplate. In two short days, we have fallen in love with these children.

Please keep our team and these kids in your thoughts and prayers! We love you all!
Love,
Erika and Katie
