Day 2 (or 3 or 4 or ???)

Day 2 in Santa Cruz: Maddie - Christina was my prayer partner and I liked to play with her. She is really fun, even though I can't understand her!

Mallory - My favorite part so far was going to the orphanage and meeting the orphans - especially Juan de Dios! He's my age!

Morgan - I enjoyed eating lunch with Tiburcio and Luis Enrique. I also met Juan's brother, Evwin. He's fun to hang out with!

Today was a busy day. We started with a great breakfast, then traveled to the school to work or orphanage to work. The rain caused us to move VBS to Trinity Church, which worked out great. Our team was in charge of crafts and the NC team did games. After VBS we got to eat lunch with the TC orphans at the church. In the afternoon we split up to work. Half of our team worked at the school doing various jobs and the other half went to the seminary to clean and paint. We ate a fabulous supper at Brasargents, which is a Brazilian food place. We ended the evening with a devotion led by Pastor Darren. We sang, shared and had a wonderful close to the evening praising God! We especially need prayers now for strength as sleep is getting slimmer. We are also enjoying our new friends from both North Carolina and Bolivia! - The Edigers
