Wednesday-Saturday

On Sunday we scheduled ourselves to visit the school associated with the church, Avivamiento. We had never been there before so we had no idea what to expect. We found the school to be much like Trinity. They had about 280 students with quite a few pastor and missionary kids. They also had some of the smartest kids in the country. We led a short worship set then split into 2 groups to do puppets and dramas. When we finished, the students were on break so we got to hang out with them.
Manda and I were swarmed by a group of 20 girls. Communicating was very difficult but they were just as eager to communicate as we were. We played hide and go seek which was a blast.
After the break, we divided into 4 groups: testimonies, flashcards, conversational, and listening. I was in the testimony group and we shared something that God had done in our lives. The conversational group talked about themselves in English while the listening group listened to the students tell about Colombia. We all loved this school, perhaps because it felt so much like home.
After the school, we returned home to get ready to lead a service at our host church. We performed all our dramas, led worship, and two students gave a message. It was perfect way to end the high school trip.
Today the college group has arrived and we are touring. Don't expect a blog for Thursday-Saturday. Thursday and Friday those of us staying 2 weeks hung out, did a little shopping, and found some amazing little restaurants. Last night we went to the opening session of the Equip leadership training conference lead by Trinity's pastors. Tomorrow is Avivamiento again.
