Day 4: Final day of our English Camp! Parents were invited to the final part for a presentation of what the kids learned.

Smores for a snack, we roasted the marshmallows on a fire on the sidewalk in front of the school.

Caity interview during our afternoon service project. We are helping the school repaint a few classrooms that they haven't had the time/people/resources to do yet. We're excited to be a part of improving their school!

  6. that Bryan said the airplane air was stiff and smelled horrible. the food on the plane wasn't so bad. one of the stewards gave me a free pizza because he saw me eating a pizza that I had bought in the airport. only got 4 hours of sleep on the way to Medellin.

  7. Ok so Bogart should be a news anchor with his play by play of the whole trip so far. I'd like to see him keep it up the rest of the trip ;) And Rhianna's rebuttal is way valid, storms while flying are scary. That's when you just try watching a really funny movie to pass the time. The pics are so nice to see, thanks for posting. What's the weather like? Malachi....haha....you spilled orange juice. We love you though. Can't wait to see more pics and hear more stories.

  10. It's such fun to see you all in such a great place. You've had a fun-filled, long weekend and now the task you've been planning for is about to begin. How reassuring to know that God will give you grace for all the moments with the students. Thanks to you, Corey, for keeping us posted! You bless all the parents, brothers and sisters, and grandparents with your photography. Nice to see the Sanders, too. Blessings as you run without weariness and walk without fainting b/c you are waiting upon the Lord.

  11. Great pics!! Congrats on the wedding, very exciting...haha! And Bogart, I think the phrase "pshhhh" will be your famous catchphrase as a news anchor. It may just catch on. ;) Love to all of you guys and keep up the prayer and energy. You're a blessing to everyone around you and you're creating memories for these people that they will have forever.

  12. I love the pictures and I love the fact that you are spending this time in such a wonderful undertaking! This is a special message to cousin Sevia and little (not really) cousin Malachi from Sharon and Colleen, and Aunt Mary Ann. We're at your house in Kingsburg, enjoying time with everyone this evening, but we really miss you. His precious blessings upon you as you continue to do His work. We will be eagerly awaiting more news! Much love to you both and to your fellow laborers for His kingdom!!
