Noah

Hey everybody,

This past week, we have been working at a hospital in the mornings and working at a soup kitchen in the evening. The hospital work is not what any of you are expecting I am sure. We actually have been painting kids pictures on the walls of the cancer ward. Pictures of Noah's Ark and of cute little cuddly animals. You know the elaborate colourful pictures. Of course, us very unartistic boys are delegated the giant brown parts of the ark, or tons of green grass so we can't butcher the paintings. The middle age Paraguayan women do the elaborate difficult stuff.

In the evenings, we have been working at the soup kitchen still and playing tons and tons of soccer. Once again, these young Paraguayan boys have made us Canadians look like clowns. This soup kitchen is one of 121 soup kitchens in the country. Yet it is special to us because we have had the amazing opportunity to spend this last week and next week with them. For most of the kids that come out, this is the one positive influence that they receive. Many of the kids are discipled through the amazing volunteers that run it and genuinely love them. Tomorrow morning (Sunday), one of the boys who became a Christian through the program is being baptised, and we might be doing an impromptu sermon (it was the Pastor's idea). Anyways some pictures will be uploaded on a photo album ... and here it is http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2094912&l=8896f&id=116205194
