Hey folks of the great state of
Minney! I just wanted to share a couple of my favorite moments of this trip so
far. First off, the first VBS that my group (group C) did was for about 50 kids
from the ages of 3 to about 15 or 16. This one really stuck out to me because
it was very new to my team and we were all a little scared about the language barrier.
Let’s just say that our God is one amazing God because he wiped away all of our
fears and gave us one of the most amazing nights. The language barrier was not an
issue and we were able to talk, laugh, and sing with all of the kids. (One of
the songs included Justin Bieber who all of the girls love down here.) Also, we
obtained plenty of new facebook friends (: We left the church rejoicing and
praising God because it was such a memorable night. Everyone could not stop
smiling and sharing pictures that we took with all of the kids. Skipping ahead
a few days, my next favorite time was when we went shopping in Santiago. After a
full day of bargaining, I would say that myself and a few others are complete
experts! (: Cherie Morgan and I won a bargain from calling back and forth down
the street with one of the vendors! I could not be happier than I am in this
moment. The whole time we have been down here my group has become so much
closer to each other and to God. This place is so beautiful that I am highly
considering not coming back to Minnesota !(: With all of that being said, I am
having a fantastic time and cannot wait to share all of my adventures with you
when we get back! Thank you all for your support and encouragement and making
this trip possible for all of us. Love you all!
