last reading day!

well its our last reading day and last party. Yesterday we went over to Justin's and Kendra's reading station to hang out with their readers and play card games. we had cokes and it was tons of fun, then today we have a Canada theme party. We made certificates of appreciation to give out to our readers. Its hard leaving our readers but we are excited for the Church to take over and continue to meet with our readers. For the last few days we are going to Church, going to a childrens bible academy school to see all the kids there and the work they are doing, also meeting with the Church leaders for an end meeting. Tuesday we fly out so please continue to pray for us and that our flights will not have any problems. Thanks so much guys for all your support and encouragement!!! We will see you soon!

1 week left!

So this week has gone really well. We have all been getting to know our readers really well. Yesterday we were able to go to a village on our day off. First we had to take a van,then a boat and then another van. It took along time to get there, but it was really worth it! The village was beautiful and peaceful and the people were amazing!! They just want to learn about Jesus so bad but they do not have the resources to do it. So we gave them some of the bibles that we brought with us to give to people. This was the village that we were going to go read at for a couple of weeks. But it was still amazing to go for a few hours because it was basically in the middle of no where!

Today we had another party and some of our readers came and we just hung out and talked with them for awhile and went to buy cokes with them. Then one of our readers climbed a coconut tree and get us a coconut. It was super cool and we got to drink coconut juice!!

So this week was good! We can't believe we only have one more week of reading. The time goes by so fast. Thanks to everyone who is praying for us!!
See you all soon!!
