Day 4- Last Day in Desire

From Bob Schuchard:

Last Day in Desire

Today was our last full day in Desire - and it was a very good day!  The English lessons in the morning were engaging for the kids.  Again, we were impressed with how much they have retained and continued to learn over the last year or so.  The younger kids know colors, animals, body parts and clothing.  The older kids are learning phrases and are actually starting to sound words out. We are grateful to God for being able to see the investment our teams have made over the last year starting to yield fruit in the lives of these young people!

In the afternoon, we had a great time of songs, a Bible story and games followed by a really fun time of interacting with the kids.  Many from our team got to interact with different kids today making paper airplanes and finger boxes, playing soccer, hopscotch and taking "photos".  It was a sweet time together, enjoying each other and just having fun - despite the lingering cloud of knowing that the trip is almost over.

Please pray for the children - that God would protect their hearts as we say goodbye tomorrow.  And for us as we leave and let go of these precious little ones, hopefully for just a little while.
