Children perform for team on Saturday

After a very full day of fun, the children had a surprise for the tias and tio Carl. They put together a short program for us. during the first part, five girls and five boys dressed in traditional Chiapas dance costumes and performed a very special dance for us. In Mexico, each region has its own kind of dress, dance, and music. They are all uniquely different. This is something that the kids actually audition for, and it is an honor and a privilege to be part of it.

We have been teaching the boys about the fruits of the spirit all week in our daily devotionals, so it was completely appropriate that they decided to show us what they already knew about that topic. They had just put together a program last week that named all of the fruits and added a little detail about each one.  We have learned so much from them in our devotionals -- they are remarkably well-versed in Scripture already.  The best thing we can do for them is help them see how to apply the Scripture to their everyday lives.
