First Meeting for the Girls...

Today was the first meeting of the international children's club for the girls. I think it went very well! 

There were 4 girls in the meeting. They were so excited. =) They got to dress up and they got to go in my room- which all the children love to be allowed to do. So, I decided to use the kind of living room for the girls to meet in. A special treat. =)

I didn't have a translator for this one. Interesting choice I my part really because some of the boys are bilingual and I had a translator, yet none of the girls know English and I didn't have one. However, I have the Holy Spirit and I have been learning a lot of Spanish since I was here in August apparently. I was able to carry on- though I wasn't sure I got everything across as I planned at some points. I think it went very well. I'm excited about what God is doing! =D

The boys' club begins...

Today we had the first meeting for the boys branch of the international children's club! =)

There were six boys and we went for a hike down the hill in the woods. Some of them call it a ditch.

After hiking down to a more open area, we sat down and I pulled out the flannel board and Betty Luken felts. Using the Spanish version of the story I told them about creation. We went from complete darkness through day five. I think the boys enjoyed being allowed to go down the hill- they love it...the being boys sort of thing. =)

Hermano Roberto came with to help translate when I didn't know the words. I read the story in Spanish and added some things that he translated for me. I'll get to the point where I can say it all myself- but I'm still learning.

I think it went well for the first meeting. Praise God! I was nervous about starting- but I knew it was the right thing to do. So, yeah!

Thursday is the first meeting for the girls branch of the club. It will go well also, I'm sure. It will be the same lesson- with a more girly environment. =)

Well, off again...
Blessings on you!
