¡Hola!
Today was a wonderful day from start to finish! We began the morning with VBS at DR-536. The theme for our VBS was Daniel and the lions den. We learned from the center director that our VBS theme corresponded with their theme they had planned for the week. We performed a skit for the children and staff and sang a song. The children loved singing along with us. After we performed we passed out snacks to the children and introduced the crafts and games that we brought. We made lion faces, balloon animals and bracelets. We also played on the playground with balls, jump ropes, volleyball, basketball, and other fun games. It was amazing to see that no matter what their circumstances, the children were always filled with so much joy. The spirit of God is certainly alive in them! We told them that they are loved by God and that we love them too. We also let them know we were praying for them. It was sad to say goodbye to our new friends, but we were all so thankful to have spent 2 days with them.
After leaving the center we did 3 home visits. At the first home Susan and Jenn were blessed to visit their sponsor child in their home. At the second home Scott and Michele were also able to visit their sponsor child at their home for a second time. It was exciting for them to also be able to spend time with the family of their sponsor child.
The day ended with a dinner out with out with Compassion. We enjoyed having time to relax and share in conversation with our awesome team.
We are looking forward to visiting the Compassion office in Santo Domingo tomorrow!
¡Qué Dios te bendiga! (God bless you!)
