Day four has passed and still there have been nothing but beautiful days here at Hope Center! Our day began with an inspirational Bible lesson on Peace, where Chris (along with some Ward 1 helpers) taught the children that they don't have to worry because God is taking care of them. Within the Bible lesson was an abundance of joyous singing done by the very talented campers!
Following the lesson, everyone headed down to the sea for a relaxing 2 hours of swimming. The sun was shining and the water was the perfect temperature yet again. The children had a blast swimming circles around the team members and squirting each other with squirt guns.
After lunch and nap time, it was time for the daily activity. The children played "Find the counselor", which is similar to the American game called "Sardines". One counselor hid beneath a parked car, acting like an auto-mechanic with only two legs sticking out from underneath! Needless to say, they were never found.
As dinner came to end, craft time began. Tonight the children got to make masks out of several different art supplies, create book marks for their Bibles, and make bracelets or earrings to take home. After craft time there was a HUGE mess to clean up... which means the children must have had fun.
Lastly, everyone was tucked into bed and read a few more stories from their Bibles. The children are starting to ask really great questions about God and prayer, which is so exciting for all the team members.
We thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers and can't wait to share more with you!
