Here is a link to the video that we took on March 2nd at NACC. IT is at the bottom of the list. It shows one of the songs that we played and the whole skit that we preformed in Mexico. Enjoy!

More Pictures!
Here are a few more pictures from our trip.
This is a picture of us teaching the children Romans 6:23. I was surprised at how quickly they learned the verse. We would take a few words away each time we said it and they still remembered it every time.
I like this picture. It was weird for me to see police with guns like this and even bigger walking the streets. That is something I am not used to in America. I had to get a picture with them. They were happy to help me out. :)

Here is a picture of Branden showing some kids his pig nose (from the play). They thought it was pretty funny. It was nice to have things like that so we could get connected with the kids by making them laugh. There is something about laughter that helps people connect with each other easily, and boy, did they love to laugh! It encouraged me so much to see them, who have next to nothing, laugh.
Here is a picture of us mixing the cement. Since we didn't have a mixer, we had to mix it on the ground. We made a pit type thing and then filled it with water. We then had to try to keep the water in while it soaked and then mix it up so that everything got wet. It was tiring!
Here is a picture of us playing sharks and minnows at one of the Bible clubs. After we explained the rules, the kids caught on pretty fast. They get pretty competitive but they still have fun, especially the younger ones. Even thought the younger ones wern't as fast, they still had a blast. I was really thankful for that. Everyone seemed to enjoy it a lot. After sharks and minnows, we usually played soccer. That was fun. They were usually way better than me. What would you expect!
