This week's energy will be focused on doing "Carnivals of Health" in 7 elementary schools in the San Vicente area. Well, we are now down to 6 schools as rainy weather prevented us from traversing 5 miles of muddy, dirt roads to get out to one community. The team is made up of 3 Bible school students, 1 of the angels, 5 people from Oregon, 3 missionaries with Mexican Medical Ministries and myself. With 7 Spanish speakers among us, we should be able to communicate well the health teachings. This year's focuses will include, dental hygiene, nutrition, and healthy drinks. After four 15 minute lessons inside the classrooms, the teaching will move outside where fun and games will reinforce the lessons.
The most exciting part of the week was exposing the three Bible School Students to Children's Ministry. They assisted by taking on parts in the "Good Nutrition Train" skit and hands-on activity. They were rather timid at first, but as they gained confidence they became more comfortable with the children. The Bible Students expressed how all they had learned in Bible School was theory about working with children, but now they were getting real experience and learning effective means of teaching "Little Ones". Their wheels were turning as they began to discuss how to use the train to teach biblical themes. I can't wait to work with them again.
