Today was an all around great day! We visited the school that the children from Exodo attend. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the children. They were lined up with welcome signs all the way into an outdoor amphitheater. Inside the amphitheater were tables set up with tablecloths and decorations. Their marching band performed, students danced native dances in traditional costumes, and they served us puposas and hot chocolate- both native dishes. All of us, students included, were blessed to hear one of The Disciples give his testimony. They also performed break dancing, a rap song, and beat box. After that we went into the classrooms where we shared about our experiences in El Salvador and also some of our home lives. On the way out the children flocked to us for our autographs!
In the afternoon we went back to Exodo to work more on painting the bathrooms, tiling the vanities, and having VBS for the children. Today we also celebrated all of their birthdays. The kids were so excited to receive monogrammed towels, cards, small packages with gifts of stickers, books, games, etc., and their tie-dye T-shirts. The children are so beautiful and full of hope. They have truly blessed our lives.
