This week has been an experience I will never forget.  Yesterday was a very long day for all of us.  However, God gives us all strength to be able to get through the day.  On Tuesday we had a VBS and the kids there were beautiful.  As I read them the story from Matthew  about God walking on water I could see on their faces how closesly they were paying attention to me and others acting it out.  It was fun b/c we didn’t have a huge setup with props everywhere.  We had four tubs for our boat, two blue sheets for the water and bats as paddles!!  It’s sad to know that in North America we make our VBS as elegant as we can in part b/c our children are spoiled.  One look at what the children down here have and you think to yourself “I feel so sorry for them.”  But they are content and don’t know anything more then what they own.  I think at churches in U.S. we take away what is truely important and that is Christ.  The VBS was also fun b/c we taught the children how to play poto, poto, gonzo (duck, duck, goose)  They had no idea what the game was. 

This week has been so much fun and the worship services here are awesome!  They aren’t afraid to sing out to the Lord and to say AMEN!  The church the other night was small but so loud!  They go to church here every night and if they can sing loud, raise their hands, and praise God all through the service, why can’t we do that on the one day we give God?  The services here last an 1 1/2 hours or more.  I’m sad that this week is drawing to an end.  But I know that I can take back what these people have helped me understand even more.  And that is how to truely worship God with all your heart and all your strength. 

Love,

ADAM
