Bueños Dias!

• Bueños Dias! It is 10:30 here and we have already worked hard this morning. We have finished up our prep work for the Vacation Bible Schools that will start today at 3:00. Be in prayer!
• God continues to reveal His glory and plans to us. How cool is this: we had no idea what our translators were going to teach on before we got here. All we knew was that we needed to prepare crafts. One lesson is going to be on Noah’s Ark. Guess what our craft is about for that lesson? Animals. Another lesson will be the plan of salvation. Guess what craft we had for that day? Necklaces that remind the children of the plan of salvation. God is so amazing!
• I can’t believe I forgot to tell you that our group was served guinea pig on Sunday Night. These are not the cute little guinea pigs you keep in the cage in the States. No, these are about 2 feet long. They just rip the fur off and serve it skin, teeth, and all. Suprisingly enough, just about all the group sampled it. And even more suprising, it tasted pretty good. Like every thing else in the world, it tasted like chicken. Some of the boys took it too far. My brother Corey and Drew Moody ate the brain. Collin Montgomery ate the tongue. El Grosso.
• Last night the girls pranked the guys really bad. We are about 5 miles from an active volcano. Last night about midnight, they had the camp staff sett of the alarms and tell the guys that the volcano had gone on red alert. So the guys jumped out of their bed, packed their suitcases, and ran to the bus. The girls had all their suitcases by the bus to make it seem real. Even our Ecuadorian bus driver named Hector (that speaks no english) came running out and cranked up the bus. April Fools! All I have to say is that we have several nights left. They made the mistake of pranking the guys too early in the week. We have a plan that will rock their socks off. Payback is gonna be fun.
• Speaking of Hector, the dude is my hero. He can drive a bus in any conditions, anywhere. The gate to our camp in very narrow. The bus has about 2 inches of clearance on either side. Hector drives us in there like it is no big deal. He also weaves on the road to see how many chickens he can run over. He is a trip!
• Well, it is getting close to lunch time. God is moving in mighty ways. Pray that our first day of VBS is fruitful. We love and miss you all! I will try to update later tonight, but we’ll see.
