Monday, getting started



On Monday morning, the entire team went to "Agua Viva" to help set up for VBS. We had to unload and set up the craft room and jumping castle; set up the sanctuary, sound system, and instruments; set up the puppet stage; and make space in the storage room for the ladies to meet with their class. By 9:00 all was ready and the children began to arrive. The jumping castle and balloons were a great announcement!


The first day we had 97 kids enrolled in the VBS and 19 women in the adult class. With a few minor glitches it was a great first day!


The afternoon was spent painting the outside of the sanctuary the same bright peach and blue as the classroom, putting up drywall in the storage room, and working on "mudding" the sanctuary.


A seperate group of workers went to the rehab center to help put up supports for pouring a cement roof/second floor.
Everyone arrived back at the Pancho Villa church tired but with a feeling of accomplishment!
