Breakfast Club

To My Faithful Readers:

Me gustaria a compartir un poco contigo sobre nuestro desayuno muy especial...in other words, I'd like to tell you about our special breakfast this morning. Waking up, we got the kiddos bundled-up (it's almost winter here), hopped on a bus, then a small ferry, then hiked on a trail, and arrived at the Tenglo Island property. Eduardo and Juanita, our Chilean co-missionaries, had gone knocking doors the day before inviting all children to descend on their home for breakfast and fun activities.

We prepared hot cheese and ham sandwiches, hot chocolate, and other goodies and greeted the children as they arrived. After breakfast Eduardo gave a lesson on the first days of creation, then we sang fun songs with motions. After that we headed outside for some good rough-and-tumble games in the field. The kids caught on quickly to all the games, and we all had much to laugh about. After that we held a ping-pong tournament and a small snack and invited them all to come the next Saturday with their friends. This will be a continuing ministry, and it is certainly meeting a need as many parents go to the mainland during the day for work or errands, and the children are left with nothing to do. We're going to involve painting, crafts, and other activities in too. We had a great time having fun with these precious children, and look forward to more opportunities to get to know them and show Christ to them.

May you all have a blessed Easter, remembering Him who conquered the grave and changed the world forever!

Your Devoted, Sarah
