Kids' Camp

I know I have mentioned our awesome friends, the Edmunds Family a few times in my posts. Their friendship has been a blessing for Jade and myself here in Chacala and we love spending time with them.

Chuck and Colleen Edmunds moved here with their three kids as missionaries for their church. The main goal  of their organization Global Church Partners is to "train and encourage very low-income pastors in developing countries" and we have witnessed their compassion and love for the people here.

We were invited recently by Colleen to offer helping hands for a youth day camp they were putting on that would last a week and we jumped at the chance to get involved.

Chuck and Colleen planned, advertised, and put on 5 days worth of songs, games, crafts, snacks, and lessons about our Savior with the help of a pastor from the neighboring town of Las Varas and his daughters.

About 50 kids showed up from Chacala and Las Varas and we had an absolute blast. The kids were SO adorable.

Luckily our Spanish helped out a little and it was fun when I could tell immediately from their blank faces when I said something wrong. It was amazing practice to try to make sense of what I was hearing because the kids talk SO FAST. And when I didn't understand they would repeat themselves without slowing down even a little bit.

Jade and I were so grateful for such a fun experience to get to know some of the wonderful kids around here and their excitement about learning about our Lord was inspiring.

Thanks Edmunds for inviting us!

Not a bad place to spend a few days...
