Wednesday's Kids

On Wednesday afternoons I work with this group of kids. While the adults have Bible study and craft time inside this small house, the kids and I have our crafts, story, and game time out in the small dirt "yard" in front. The kids really enjoy the time together.

This is my little buddy Eder. He is just too cute, and we have fun together. Unlike the other 2 year olds, he actually works with us on most of the activities and is just a lot more tranquil than they tend to be, which I certainly appreciate!
This little girl is precious but definitely a challenge. So, I felt like I'd made a breakthrough when she actually interacted with me positively today!
At the end of each day kids of all ages enjoy coloring and working word search puzzles, which they call "sopa de letras" which translates to "letter soup." The lack of table doesn't phase them. They'll use the rough ground, their leg, or even stand and put their paper against the brick wall.

Today the two girls in headbands were standing on the sidewalk outside the fence watching us. After several invitations to come inside, they finally joined us.
Please continue to pray that these kids will learn more about God's love and his plan each time we meet and that their parents will grow in Christ and raise them accordingly.
