Wednesday morning we arrived in Armenia Bonito to a group of children more excited than I have ever seen them before! They were literally jumping around and yelling and grinning… just full of joy. We were going to the beach!!!
Even though we live near the coast, the kids don’t get to go to the beach very often b/c they would have to go on the bus and it costs money and their parents aren’t home to take them, etc. So, this was a real treat!
It was a day full of fun! I took a float that I have and the kids loved floating on it, although it took them a little while to trust it! I especially loved putting the little ones who can’t swim on it and taking them out in the waves. I just really love doing simple things for these kids that to us are so normal, like taking a float out in the ocean, but for them are such a treat!
Erin shared the Gospel with the kids before they ate lunch. We are just continually praying that these kids will understand grace in a very real way and walk with the Lord. I just really want them to understand that the Lord loves them fiercely and wants to change their heart. They have grown to love the song, “From the Inside Out”. And that is really what I pray for them, that the Lord will change them, starting with their hearts and make it evident in their lives that they belong to Him!
