Day 5: Midweek in Mexico

February 13

9:15 PM: I'm here in a happy, laughter-filled staff lounge where most of the group is involved in hearty conversation and banter. A few buckets of icecream have been produced, as well as card making supplies. The valentines we're making tonight will be given to some of the women staff tomorrow.

Earlier this evening we went to the Bible School's "Kickin' Chicken Dinner," a fundraiser for the Bible School students' trip to Oaxaca. As we ate, the students put on a program including games, testimonies and music. We even had the opportunity to listen to a song in a Oaxacan language!
After dinner, we all walked over to the church for the Wednesday night service.

Otherwise, the day involved sorting macadamia nuts in the morning...

And another Child Evangelism trip with a milk and peanutbutter distribution in the afternoon:

This time I made sure to bring LOTS of string to do figures with the kids! As usual, we had lots of fun with the "mosquito" figure, and I also showed them a new one, "la cruz"--"the cross."
