First a couple more shots from just after VBS wrapped up.
Rabbit ears are timeless and they break any language barriers. Julianna had no idea and it sure brought a smile to my face and the adults around me as I took this shot. The local kids loved posing for pictures and digital cameras supplied many smiles this week.
This is Cruz Guido with Julianna. She is very active in the church and community. She is in her second year of psychology studies at the local college. She really took a liking to Julianna. (I can't blame her.)The next two shots are for all the family from Texas who can appreciate a good ride down the highway in the back of a pick-up. This was another one of those firsts Julianna got to experience on this trip.
This small three wheeled taxi has been nick-named a "mosquito" by the members of our group. The name stuck sometime last year since they were always buzzing around. Julianna, Bethany and I were able to catch a ride after dinner one night back to the hotel for 15 Cordobas ( about 75 cents ).
Dinner Sunday night was at the local preacher's house. Giovanni and Carolina put out quite a spread. Roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, and homemade ice cream for desert. Ummm, Ummm, good!!!After dinner, Carolina showed the girls her pet birds. A couple of them were especially defensive protecting their eggs, but these two were very friendly.
Here is a group shot. Giovanni and Carolina, son Gabriel and (maybe someday soon, daughter) Cruz. Cruz and Gabriel seem to be an item. Gabriel, along with two other young men, Jose Guido (Cruz's brother) and Juan Pablo, from the congregation are attending the Bible College. All three of these men are good hard workers and are a bright future for the church in this area.
