Tuesday, June 28^th, Vacation Bible School  

Today is team member Kristine’s 18^th birthday. It would prove to be memorable.

Today is the second day of our Vacation Bible School. The pastor will not be with us today as he will be on the mountain of Cha-Cha, where they want to plant another church. But, the pastor’s friend, Bernard, and a few others will assist us with the children.  We started out with 122 children at today’s VBS.  A mixture of games, crafts, and singing made for a joyful time at Valley of Hope Church.  As the day ended with a snack, our numbers had reached around 185 children again. The same number as our first day on Saturday, June 25^th.

Pastor Maxeau’s wife and sister made us a delicious feast this evening including rice, salad, and a lasagna made with veggies. Indeed, they have made sure that we are well feed each day.

This evening, our team had a time of decompressing our experiences and watching a movie together on Steve’s computer. It was a change of pace in days filled with Creole, French, and broken English.
