Beautiful Kids, Beautiful View

Yesterday was our first day of Vacation Bible School and Construction at the Kusi school!! The school is located along a road that leads up to the continental divide (Portachuelo) and is in the sight of Huascaran, the second highest peak in the Andes.

The students shared the story of how God was with Daniel when he chose to honor God no matter what.

Several helped tell the story with a funny skit: Tyler Gilkerson played the king, Daniel was.....well, Daniel, Mike Wilson, Will Teague, and Erik Natusch played the evil advisors, and Logan and Stephen were very convincing, and ferocious, lions!

Afterwards, Mike, Tara, Ryan and Rachel H. did another silly skit to show the kids ways to honor God by sharing and being kind (Ryan and Rachel) and things that don´t honor God, like fighting and stealing (Tara and Mike...they were quite good at this :)

Erik helps the school children with their lion masks.

Will Teague has found some new friends.

Brandy loves working with children!

Two children show off their masks.....roarrrrrr!!!

After VBS, we had some play time out in a giant field. Austin found a cute little monkey on his back! Austin plays with his lunch.....literally....this little guy, whom they named rico (meaning rich or yummy) was later served as part of our lunch.
