The Lord continues to bless (I think!). 140 kids today. The hardest tasks are crowd control and where to put them all for crafts, but we figure if He sends them, He'll make a way. Butch and Ellen were Adam and Eve. I hope Chris got it all on tape :-)
A second blessing is the attendance at the men's and women's Bible studies. There were about 10 men today, which is amazing because men don't do much like that in the village. They are not used to opening up and sharing, a cultural thing, but Chuck is doing a great job with trying to draw them out. Women's Bible study had more than 25 women! This is a big increase over even last year's numbers for both groups.
Today is Father's Day in Nicaragua (yes, even third-world countries have Hallmark moments), and the women's Bible study made a cake for the men. Very nice.
Weather continues hot; the challenge is to stay hydrated. Still, everyone continues healthy, if beat.
Ladies brought around needlework today, so we'll have fresh items in church in addition to the things people have ordered.
