We have a rare opportunity to rest a bit before dinner tonight, so I get to update this a bit early today. :) Today we got to visit some local elementary schools to invite them to a free dinner we're providing on Friday night. We will be cooking and serving the meal, and the people of Nueva Vida church will be sharing the gospel with the children and their families. Here are some photos from one of the schools we visited today. Seems odd to us in the USA, but these students swarmed us and asked for autographs, what a bizarre feeling to hand out your autograph when we haven't done a thing! The students were so excited to see "Americanos" at their school.

McCallister talking with students shortly after we arrived...

Students trying to get a peek at our group before the assembly started.

The assembly included songs from our singing group, our dance/ flags team, and the powerful drama. Although this is a public school, we were able to share God's love and good news with them.

The students were crammed into a small space, we were roasting!!

Megan in the drama... she was awesome!

The only space left for Lauren and I was tucked into a corner of the room. We got to sit and sweat together. :)

Tyler signing autographs... the kids loved his blond hair.

McCallister signing autographs as well.

Tonight the group is heading to dinner down the street. I'm staying back at the hotel with four students who aren't feeling well. Please pray for our group and their health. We're hoping a night to rest and relax, and lots of Gatorade will bring them back to 100% for tomorrow.
