Today after breakfast we went to two preschools and did a short VBS-type program. Our group is loving the interaction with all the Trinidadian kids and keep commenting about how they wish we could stay longer at each place we visit. This afternoon we held our first day of VBS. We were a bit late getting there because our maxi taxi was late, and then it poured right as we were starting, so our numbers were a bit low, probably around 20 kids. But they really seemed to enjoy the games, songs, lesson and craft. Tomorrow and the other days we will also be having a puppet show. After VBS this afternoon several of the parents who live in the neighborhood asked us if we would be in charge of their Friday night prayer service for the adults. So when VBS is over, they are going to serve us dinner, and then we will do some singing, a skit and a short message. We are excited about this opportunity.

We have been having a great time of fellowship and worship as a group. Tonight many of the group shared new things they have learned about others in the group. We talked a lot about the poverty we have seen and what our response and attitude before the Lord should be.

Yesterday, we went to an orphanage and did a shortened version of day 1 of our VBS. That went great as well. Last night we attended church here at the compound. Tyler and Travis did a short drama and did a great job.

For those who went on the last trip to Trinidad, there are a few things that are different that you'll be interested to know. First all the guys are staying in what was the youth room, and the girls are staying in a room that was built in the back of the church "sanctuary". Second, our maxi taxi is almost brand new and air-conditioned! Third, the weather isn't as hot nor humid as we remember from last time. And the new dining room where we worked last time is really nice!

Tomorrow we'll be doing some construction here at the compound in the morning, then VBS in the afternoon again. It seems like the time is flying. Things are going well. Thanks for praying.
