painting and playing and praying...o my!!!!

Hey guys back in California
Heres an update about yesterday

Yesterday we had a very restful night and woke up at about 6:30 and got ready for the day. We had our 20 min and then we went upstairs to have a delightful breakfast. After that we made about 25 sandwiches for ourselves and for the workers at the church we were going to visit. When we boarded the bus we went on a 45 min excursion to the church. When we arrived at the church which is called Remanso de Amor, which means "haven of love," we first entered the gates where the kids ran up to greet us and play with us right away. They were so welcoming and loving. After we had done our greetings we were given the grand tour. The church has three stories used for classrooms for the grade levels from pre-k to grade school and soon to be middle school and high school. The first thing we did that day was paint the future upper-classmen rooms. We painted a primer white color all over the walls and ceiling. Then we took a break from that and ate lunch down stairs in the church. When we were done eating we served the kids their lunch. Lauren took charge and helped communicate with the cooks and the people in charge of the kids. Then we went down into the church with all of the kids and taught them a bible verse. After that we went upstairs to color pictures with the children. The kids went home soon after that and we went back to painting our rooms. It ended up being a great day, and all in all it was amazing.

Love,
Laurel and Quincey
