 Today we started with the VBS lesson at Manantial Del Rey and spreading the word of God with the story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. The kids were excited to make noise makers to reenact the battle, coloring pictures, and playing soccer. Afterwards, we went back to the compound and ate empanadas. Andrew King broke the record of eating 14 empanadas by eating a mere 20! After lunch, Mario drove us to Buenos Aires to look at the stunning views of Quimistan Valley and the magnificent mountains. We drove back to Quimistan and proceeded to get ready for church. At 5 o'clock, we drove to the Los Cosecha Church and worshiped with the locals in a new and interesting way. We were surprised by a translator that the church hired to interpret the sermon of the original pastor. After dinner, we prepared bags of beans and rice to hand out to families in the neighborhood near Tranquilidad later this week.
