Thursday: This morning began with the ¨Joy Stealer¨puppet skit, which is about a young girl who learns that she can only find true joy in Jesus. Then Marsha did a lesson on David and Goliath. IT WAS SO CUTE!! We had some helpers to act it out: Timothy was David, Buck was Goliath, and then we borrowed three little girls from the school to be the sheep that David tended and three little boys to be David´s three brothers who went off to war (These three boys also acted out the part of the scared Israelite army...they were so cute!!!!). After the lesson, we taught them a really fun song about David.

The craft for the day was a set of lunch bag puppets of David and Goliath. Some of the kids in the classroom that I was in were so concientious in their coloring! sooooo cute!!!!!

After wrapping up the VBS, we went out to work! Some of the boys, excuse me, men, carried the 50 pound adobes up to where they were completing a wall and others continued digging the foundation. Us girls spent the afternoon shoveling mud, carrying mud in a wheel barrow, and making mud into adobe bricks......yeah mud!!! Sarah and I also discovered and inventive way of using shovels as seats =) We will be back tomorrow mud!
