BAJA 2017: Build Day 3, VBS Day 1

By the grace of God our houses are almost complete and everyone has remained safe. All of our houses now have roofs, windows, doors, and trim. We have built and installed the interior walls and have begun interior details such as building beds and kitchen counters. All of this work will be completed tomorrow.

Today we also had our first day of VBS. Half of our team took a break from house building in order to help in one of many areas for our VBS. Driver's picked up kids from pre-determined locations and brought them to the Heart compound where we had a full schedule of games, music, bible story, crafts, and more. Our lesson focused on the story of Samuel when he first heard God's voice. We taught the kids that just like Samuel they need to learn to listen for God as he directs their lives. It was so fun to see the Nunez kids, Aylene and Santiago, at our VBS after getting to know them while building their house.

Tomorrow we finish up the interior of our houses and have our second day of VBS. Pray for us as we expect even more children! Our lesson will be the gospel and we are praying for receptive hearts.
