Thr team split into groups to serve in different ways in a community called Santa Ana. Memebers of the team from each group have offered to jot down their thoughts and experienced from the day:
Women's School (Cindy):
Today was spent at Stanta Ana. Wegot into the retreat center that we stayed at around 12:30am. We had to be up and ready for breakfast bu 6:00am. We went to a school in Santa Ana. It was back off the main road that turns into a dirt road. It sat back around a small community of homes that was nothing but metal shacks. The school had about 9 classrooms from kindergarden to 11th grade. Some of us talked to the female students about the beauty of a woman. Others wored in the kitchen and served the food to the class rooms. Others did the gym class and then took the older male students out in the muddy field and did the military training program. They came back covered with mud. Then Tyler did his "Power of One" speech to the student body. It was very powerful. The students were beautiful, we got lots of hugs and kisses. Once again God is working.
Food Service (Beth):
The lunch crew (April, Beth, Mark and Megan) served a mid-morning meal of arroz (rice) and frijoles (beans) to all nine classes of students of Santa Ana school. The lunch crew prepared individual plates in an 6"x12" tray. Beth delivered these plates along with a vitamin fortified drink to the the students in their classrooms. April, Megan and Mak kept the kitchen running smoothly by not only preparing the individual plates, but washing cups and plates to ensure every student recieved a meal.
Gym Class (Jordan)
...coming soon....
It was a wonderful day in Santa Ana. In the evening we were able to relax by the pool (Melvin threw Kelly in... in her only pair of jeans) and some of the team played basketaball. Pupusas were on the menu for dinner again as we joined Mevin and some of his team from ISC for dinner and then to a service at Melvins church. The end of another wonderful day.
