This past week we have been working with a team of college students from Biola University in California. It is a music school and they are all in the band. We had part of the team come and stay with us in our apartment and work with us in Rosiori.
The canola fields are really beautiful. Soon the sunflowers will bloom which will be a pleasure.
We started off by having some carnivals for the kids, we had different stations including bean bag toss, bowling, face painting, musical chairs, balloon pop, bobbing for apples and wet sponge throwing at someones face.
The kids of course had a fun time, we enjoyed hearing their laughter.
We also had a party for the youth, with competitive games for each group that we formed. It was a great time and many young people came, even more than those who normally come to our youth group. It was a good way to connect with more people who we normally don't get to work with.
The rest of the week we had music classes for the kids which they absolutely loved. We also did crafts as part of these classes.
The kids wanted to try out every instrument, especially the percussion!
We had some other classes too, the cooking class decorated cupcakes. In our English classes we played Bingo.
We are having a great time working with the Biola team. Even though we were living together in very close quarters we had a lot of fun. We went on walks in the evening, ate ice cream and Saorma together, and watched UHF, Weird Al's movie. We laughed together a lot but most importantly we had a great time working with the kids together. We had lots of significant times with the older kids. We are really excited because four of them are getting baptized this Sunday, please pray for them, for strength and for God to use them to impact the people around them. Please continue to pray for God to use our ministry to have an impact on the kids here.
