Tico Tuesday, August 6th

It's Tuesday again!
First off, let me say THANK YOU for praying for everything I mentioned last week! The 11 boys of the Arco Iris house now have someone to be with them the rest of the year! God called up Leslie, a fellow AWANA leader, to be a tutor/uncle/father to these boys. Today was his first day officially working. We've had single house moms at the Bible Home before, but never a single house dad. We're giving this a shot though, and we believe God is going to do amazing things through Leslie! Please keep him and the Arco Iris boys in your prayers!
A couple boys from the Arco Iris House participated in this presentation on Sunday
Speaking of AWANA... we declared this Sunday Friendship Day in AWANA, so we had a few special presentations, along with a number of other activities to develop friendship among the children. In Sparks, we made a banner with the slogan "mi amigo para Cristo" (My friend for Christ) and had all the kids decorate it. Then we had everyone draw the name of another person in the group and give them candy and tell them something nice. All the kids participated with great attitudes and didn't have to spend much time thinking of what to say. The boy who gave to me just said, "te quiero." It was so adorable! I praise God for all that he is accomplishing in the lives of these children and everything they are learning.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. May God continue to do his amazing work in your lives too!
