Before we get into Monday's activities, here is a picture of the team participating in the Sunday morning worship service as a choir.
On Monday, after breakfast and personal devotional time, we met for chapel. We worshipped the Lord in song, and Hannah H. and Konrad shared stories of God at work in their lives. Buky told us the history of La Esperanza - how his father came to Baja California and connected with Keith McBride to found the church and the clinic.
After chapel time, everyone received their assignments for the morning work projects. Some team members are working on building a small house, and they were able to raise the walls today. Other team members worked on cleaning bathrooms, pouring cement, painting, installing the ceiling in the youth center, gardening, and preparing for the afternoon vacation Bible school time at the migrant camp.
In the afternoon, we went out to Camp Vergel migrant worker housing compound and played with the children. Then we sang songs with them. Pastor Junior taught the children about the prophet Jonah while the La Esperanza interns acted it out as a skit. We did a craft with the children that related to the story of Jonah.
After dinner at the La Esperanza compound, we went back out to Camp Vergel for film ministry. We played with the children some more, giving lots of "caballitos" (piggyback rides). Then we sat down with them and watched an animated flick about Daniel in the lions den and interpreting the handwriting on the wall.
After film ministry we met in our small groups (a.k.a. Family Groups) to discuss our devotion questions and pray for one another.
