CIA part 2

Yesterday at VN our mission group was a no show. About thirty kids had came with their parents and were excited about the fiesta!!! But as time passed no one came and we began to wonder WHY? I had left my cell phone at home so I had no way of calling any to see why. We were all kind of sad. Sampson my dog was sad too.

So to pass the time we decided to play games with the kids (the parents bugged out and went back home). One of the kids had a wiffle ball kit left over from the summer program. He said ...do you want me to go get it? I said yes go get it.

So we played unorganized baseball for a while and then some soccer. Cornelia decided to go back home to retrieve my cell phone and when she came back she told me the group was not coming. Bummer!!! No one was smiling...SOOO we decided to just hang out with our kids and be open to anything they wanted to do. Of course the older boys decided to play hardcore soccer while the younger kids wanted to take pictures with my camera. Here are some of the photos we took.Then all sat down on the ground and we told them about Jesus and how much he loves them. We talked for a good thirty minutes!! It was truly a blessing.

This is Carlos...he was the only one that was happy because he had survived a Bermuda bike ride (see the t-shirt). I doubt seriously that he has been anywhere near Bermuda in his life time.

We got the word from our partner Tim Cummins that we had to go to Huntington Ridge to another block party.

This made Kaitlyn happy because she wanted to drive on Jimmy Carter Blvd.

Her mom was not so happy. A little buttering up never hurts.

We left there met up with our other partners Tim and Kathy Palmer (Kathy is pictured on the right above).

We got there just in time to see a karate exhibition. Everybody was braking boards in the name of Jesus. Kidding aside, the kids really loved the board breaking. CIA TV even got in on the act.

At the end they had a terrific and blessed gospel presentation that was performed in English and Spanish. Followed by an invitation to accept Christ and a closing prayer.

It was a great day in the name of Jesus.

We love you all!
