Kelly Kramp and I had gone to Maxi Bodega (aka Wal Mart) to get supplies that morning and also to Pollo Campero (fast food chicken restaurant with internet) to get the lesson and activities ready. My mom and her friend at work helped us out on finding the song ¨Zacchaeus was a Wee Little Man¨ in Spanish. The kids were excited to see us return to the orphanage. 
Today was our first day of VBS (Vacation Bible School). They came running down the steps of the unkept orphanage hugging us so tightly while a few of the shyer ones smiled at a distance. We all gathered on cement basketball court/ soccer field. The kids of all various ages sat down ready for what we had. Kelly did a great job of telling the story in Spanish and using the kids to act it out. We also had a short cartoon in Spanish about 
Zacchaeus that we watched off of my laptop followed by a few songs. We had made bookmarks for the kids with Jeremiah 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
They had fun coloring the words. While some kids colored, others played soccer, and most of the girls let us paint their finger nails. They enjoyed getting their nails painted. Their faces lit up while they were getting painted. They felt just as pretty as they are. They all wanted their picture taken once their nails were painted. 
Here are some other random things we did while in Puerto Barrios:
-Went to the trash dump, gave out food and scripture. Some people went back to give more food and minister. It was really sad to see the way they lived. 
-Jared & I went the dentist and got cavities filled; afterward the dentist and Freddie took us to get a coconut to drink and to get a piñata for Rachel’s b-day. We went back to the dentist a few times to say hello and to take Marissa to get her teeth worked on. The dentist wife took me on her bike to the laundry mat.
Look, they even have matching shoes haha. Our team will def miss them. Their flights leave out of Honduras. Please pray that they will make it back into Honduras safely. Their passports are being kept safe with some friends in Honduras, so we are praying they can make it back into the country w/o them. It’s another story of how they even got into Guatemala. They are with us right now in Antigua. 
he dentist office. He’s friends with the dentist and he came in to interpret for us. He was so nice and took us all over on his motor cycle. We all three squeezed on his two seat bike, nothing unusual around there though. He also took several people to the doctor, including Jared. One night he interpreted a service that we did, asking for nothing in return. Jared, Josiah, and I went to church service with Freddie and his family the last Sunday we were there. It was so amazing. The music was good and loud and a lot of the people were dancing around. 
reets, who happened to know English. I was able to hear her amazing story and pray with her.
month. They are here for debrief, meaning we’ll also get to spend time with some of the World Race leaders.
We will be here around a week as they decide on the safest way to get us into Nicaragua, prob by plan or boat so we don’t have to go through Honduras.
Thanks for all your prayers. As many of you know, many people have been sick. Everyone is doing MUCH better now. Also, if you have a facebook and we’re not friend on their yet ask to be mine. I am always posting a few sentences of what we’re doing.
