Every Saturday we get to go into this little town and minister to 40+ children who come off the street to play and hear God's Word. This is one of my other favorite ministries (besides the Orphanage, of course). Theses children are sooooo sweet and they love coming to play, they were hanging all over us and had smiles on their faces the whole time! A woman, named Anita, from a church here started this ministry 3 years ago and has done it every Saturday since. When we showed up in the morning she told us we'd be doing a little skit about forgiveness. They all volunteered me to be the mother in the skit, so I had to learn some lines in Spanish, it was funny! The children started showing up shortly after we arrived and we gathered them around to begin playing games outside. After the games we sang some songs and did the skit. Then the children all got some crayons and colored a picture, which they loved doing! When they were finished, we were able to hand out a snack and drink to all of them! (I think this was their favorite part!) During snack we were able to just sit and talk with all of the children. I taught a group of them the days of the week in English and they taught me some Spanish words! I am excited to be a part of this ministry and look forward to going every weekend! Enjoy the pictures of the cute kids!

Yes, that is me in the center. I know it's hard to tell, I totally fit in down here, haha!
Enjoying their snacks!
