Nicaragua 08 Day Five

Sunday Morning


Look at the pretty girl all ready for church. God sure makes some very special things!

The Sunday attendance was extra high, possibly because they heard Julianna was gonna be there. They have one class for the children and one class for the adults.

This is the left half of the children's class room. Pretty full.

The right half. Also full.


Notice the line of attendees still filing in down the road through the doorway.


This is the over flow area just outside the children's class. A couple teachers inside, one just outside. It was very impressive how nicely all the kids acted. Julianna and Bethany watched through the window during the lesson.


After class Julianna and some of the local kids tried their best to chit-chat.

After class, all of the kids move their chairs into rows right behind the adults and all of the kids sit together during the combined worship service. Wow. That sounds like a recipe for riots in America. But, in Nicaragua the children were really well behaved. Of course they squirmed and some whispered, but overall they were better behaved most adults I know.


It really was a full service this particular morning.


If you look closely, you can see a red-head in the center of this picture.


I don't know if they were reading the words or looking at the highlight colors, but they are sure sharing the right book!

OK, I'm gonna have to post the VBS activities in another post. After the morning service we had a lunch on the premises for everyone and just about everyone stayed. After lunch we started preparing for VBS and the children never left the church grounds. Church really lasted all day and it was wonderful! Stay tuned...
