I right this as I sit at the breakfast table in our dining hall here at the compound. It is a new, gorgeously beautiful day here in Trinidad. The sun is shining, it's warm out, and we are currently eating the most amazing breakfast ever... We're eating Trinidadian "hot bakes" that are puffy bread sort of food that you put peanut butter, jelly, cheese or cinnamon and sugar. Speaking of which... I'm going to go get another on one. ... As I said... absolutely amazing breakfast. I just put cinnamon and sugar on this one that I have on my plate.
Besides the delectable food, we have been having a fantastic time. Yesterday, as Kristin said in her blog, we did our first day of VBS. It was wonderful, crazy, tiring, splendid, difficult, relational, FUN, and so much more. I personally had several encounters with children (usually little girls) coming up to me and clinging to me like their favorite teddy bear. Today we will return to the same spot for another VBS for more fun and crazy adventures with he kids.
I also had a chance to pull out my best pirate skills when Nate and I (robed in our very best pirate attire) greeted the kids with a fun skit which introduced the theme for our VBS -- Treasure.... We (Limp Leg and Bare Foot) were out on an adventure to seek treasure. By the third day of VBS, Limp Leg and Bare Foot will find the treasure they seek, only to realize that God's heavenly treasure doesn't compare to what they have found.
My team and I are now done eating, and we are soon to leave for an elderly home where we will be doing music, talking to the residents, and praying for the people there. Everyone is in good health.... no huge surprises yet. All stomachs are on the up and up... Rachel, the only one of us who wasn't feeling the best, is now feeling much better. Praise God for a wonderful trip thus far! ~Liz Bird
