Los Guizaros

A couple weeks ago at church I met someone from La Ceiba, Honduras!  Isn't it amazing how the Lord works?  It really is a small world.

After meeting David, he invited us to join a ministry that he is involved with in a neighborhood called Los Guizaros.  So, last Saturday Abby, Melissa, and I piled in a car with him and headed up the road for a new adventure.  And we loved it.

Every Saturday they play games with the kids and then teach them from Scripture.  They go through books of the Bible and study some hard topics.  Right now they are going through the book of Ester.  So we had a competition to see which team could answer all the trivia questions first.  My job was to listen to their answers and see if they were right.  Imagine excited kids talking all at once in rapid fire Spanish :)  But we made it work and it was fun to be able to communicate a little bit.

My team got finished first, which of course I was excited about and very proud of them.  There are some really bright kids in this group and I loved getting to hang out with them.  It will take going back awhile to learn all of their names, but they were patient to tell me more than once and to speak slowly so that I could talk to them.

After the Bible time they feed the kids lunch so we just got to hang out for a little while.  This little girl is precious and very loving.  She just sat and chatted away to me.  Her vocabulary is probably more on par with mine :)

It was a unanimous decision among us.  We would love to go back and spend more time with these kids and be a part of what the Lord is doing in their lives.  The people that work with them have a great vision to teach them about the Lord while also providing them with lot of other opportunities.  (Wow… the word oportunidades actually came to mind before the English)  So please keep these kids in your prayers!
