Declare His glory among the nations,
His marvelous deeds among all peoples.

Puerto Rico Day One

After a quick night of sleep we woke this morning ready to be the hands and feet of Christ! Thirteen members of our team were assigned to do Vacation Bible School. This consists of a bible lesson, arts and crafts, music, and games. The children of Ponce are full of energy! We had about 25-30 children join us today. The other five members of our team went to do construction work on a local mission house. Austin was under the house repairing the floor, Drew and Nate were inside the house tearing out all of the walls and putting up new ones, and Mike and Janae painted the exterior of the house. Tonight we'll have chapel at 6:45 and spend some time getting ready for what tomorrow brings. Please pray that we will continue to grow closer as a group, and that the light of Jesus will shine through us!
