Of Debriefs and Downloads...

Well here I am at the end of another full day watching with wonder and satisfaction as our group continues to grow and really connect as a team. Just finished our second amazing debrief session. Who would have known that putting these students in a van for a few hours or sending them to a nursing home or setting them up in play yard full of tireless children would be the empetice for this kind of deep connection? Even though our days are busy and full, they are busy and full with each other. The outside distractions of work, school, tests and even family commitments have left them with the time and opportunity to develop these relationships. I am really surprised at how many of them are actually really "meeting" each other for the first time. Each group continues to experience the challenges and joy of VBS ministry that comes complete with a language barrier. These kids however are determined to find ways to connect and to work together to communicate with the beautiful children and dedicated teachers and faithful church community members that we are meeting. Once again, I will say you should be proud. It is however now time to refresh and sleep and prepare for the new adventure of the coming day. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. I have faithfully passed on the comments and felicitaciones that your have posted for your students. They each give you their own "shout out" back at you! I am on the hunt for a digital download from the other two teams. Know that I WILL be succesful. Hang in. Sincerely, Jan
