This week we've been doing a little extra with the team that came in last Tuesday from Washington. They are mostly young people and have come to us with positive attitudes and hearts ready to share the love of God.The schools we're visiting are the ones that we feel have been the most forgotten. Three of the four are on the outermost edge of the municipal of Canilla in Mayan communities. Most take over an hour to reach and require a good hike after we part the truck.
Leslie, Katie, Adrienne, and Rachel have all worked really hard to prepare lessons for the schools. Mostly our activities focus on the solar system, how big God is, and how much He loves us. The teachers tell us that most kids don't learn about the planets until they're in Jr. High, and we're starting with them from 1st to 6th grade. I realized how basic we had to start when I was talking with a friend and she said that she didn't know people had been on the moon before! Lots of hands on activities are paving the way though. We've visited three schools so far to see about 250 kids, and we have one more school on Monday. Here are a few pictures from our travels...
(Look see!)
