Yesterday was another full day here in Sumpango! During the morning we split up again for home visits and VBS. It was definitely more of an adventure getting to our locations for both of these things! We held VBS up a big hill in the woods, and according to Lorelei you had to be 3/4 mountain goat in order to get to the home visits! Both went really well though. For VBS, the kids got to act out the story of Esther, and it was fun to hear from the home visits group that the songs we did with the kids could be heard echoing across the hills.

After that some of the group took the nuns at the orphanage out for lunch while the rest of us did lessons and crafts with the kids at the orphanage.
Connie finished off the day with her talk on alcoholism.
A couple of prayer requests from today:
The nuns are having a hard time with one of the 7 year old boys from the orphanage. He doesn't have any conscience or empathy, and has been escaping the orphanage by climbing over the wall. Please pray that God would give the nuns wisdom in how to deal with him and that they would figure out what to do with him to help him.
One of the women on the home visits husband has been drinking and abusing her, as well as robbing the neighbors. He has been discouraging her from coming to church and she feels shame in coming because the neighbors know about her husband. So please keep her and her family in your prayers.
Hasta luego!
