VBS started this morning. Due to some confusion with the printer we had no flyers to pass out and invite kids with. At the White team’s VBS sight (Susan, Daniel, and Andrew) we walked the neighborhood for 20 minutes prior to starting the Vacation Bible School (Escuela Biblica por los ninos) With flyers we were expecting a max of 50 children. We had 62!
At the Red team’s sight (Zachary, Ashton, Angela) kids were waiting outside the church before the team got there. There was lots of excitement for the VBS. Zachary got to share the gospel one on one with a 15 year old. The great part was that he did it in Spanish! Be proud Jim and Lynnette. Ashton began teaching the little girls the dance she learned yesterday.
In the evening the white team blitzed the streets with flyers promoting the crusade this weekend. Steve Skipper will be the evangelist. While we were passing out flyers Daniel walked right into liquor store and invited the worker behind the counter. We are so proud of his courage in sharing Christ.
At the service tonight Ashton and Zachary shared their testimonies with the church. Zachary was part of the sin chair skit.

Zach and Daniel, My heart is leaping from Michigan to Mexico and all my buttons are popping! God must have a great big smile on His face especially when you shared the gospel in Spanish! You both bring so much joy to Papa and me! I hope you liked the scripture in Jeremiah that God gave to me to share with you!! It has been fun reading all about your God inspired adventures! I can't wait to hear all of it in person!! I love you more than all the tacos in Mexico!!(Actually it's a whole lot more than that!!)ha! ha! Forever, Papa and Nano!
