Sunday School and Night Service

Mom and I took the bus out early this morning because it was her last day and we wanted to see as many people as possible before the flight home tomorrow. We got to Candelaria in time for Sunday School and found out that June 1 is National Kids Day in Nicaragua. The teachers had put together a big party with 4 pinatas and snacks and games for the kids.

It was a lot of fun being with 150-200 kids playing and afterwards Mom and I had meetings with the Sunday School teachers about lesson planning and shared some of the material that Jennifer gathered for us. They let us know which stories to photocopy and how many worksheets they needed to apply to the age groups they taught.

All afternoon we spent time visiting with as many kids and family as time allowed. We hungout with about 10 kids that stayed after morning service, teaching some English from a picture dictionary my mom brought. We then went and visited families and youth members that I wanted Mom to meet.

Pedro and his mother came around 5 to get ready for the evening service. Daniel and Bismark did a great job leading worship and Pedro spoke on discipleship and evangelism. Yahiara had over 20 kids in the pastors house teaching about the miracles of Jesus from the growing animated DVD series library.
