saturday afternoon bible study

Kathelina & her daughter, Brenda

Our Saturday afternoon bible study has been going great too!! The kids have been coming regularly to hear the bible story. This past Saturday the bible story was about the 10 commandments. This particular bible study is kind of like a childrens church setting because we only have one lady that comes and about 10-13 kids. The ones that come regularly are Kathelina, her 5 kids, and her nieces & nephews. Her husband died about a year ago and she does all she can to support herself and her children. We are praying that the other adults of her family will want to come hear the Word! Here are a few pictures from last Saturday...

Leticia...she is Kathelina's niece. Her mom

passed away about 2 years ago from sickness.

Her and her sisters live with their dad.

Jorge, Kathelina's oldest son. He helps support

the family by working instead of going to school.

If you look...you can see in the background where

they put their pictures...they glue them to the

wall every Saturday! It's kind of like when kids at

home put their pictures up on the fridge! =)

Edgar & Derrick....Edgar is Kathelina's son

Edwin, Kathelina's son






One of the kids favorite places to be....in the back of the blue truck!

Also, one of their favorite things to do...play "futbol" (soccer) with Derrick in the street!

And all the girls LOVE to get their fingernails painted!!!

What pretty fingernails!!!

...you can even see where we painted Leticia's toenails...RED!!

thursday night bible study

This past Thursday night at our bible study was awesome!
In the past few weeks, the bible study has only been with Ana (her husband hasn't been interested in coming). Tomas (Ana's husband)would leave when or before we got there. This is the 2nd Thurday in a row that he has came!
Praise the Lord!
Anyway, they have grandchildren but they didn't like for them to come in the house for the bible study. I think they thought that the kids were to loud. But last Thursday night a few of their grandchildren came in with us as we sat and talked with Ana & Tomas.

So, I told the kids...If you come back next week I will bring some coloring pages and some crayons! So Thursday came and we played ball with some of the kids as we waited for Ana to get there. She got there, we went in the house, & there was Marileni....only one grandchild was there. I asked her if she would go and get her cousins so that we could color some pictures. She left and came back with 12 more kids!! She went and got her cousins along with some friends that we were playing with in the streets! There were 13 kids altogether. So, we sat and colored
and had a good time together as Derrick sat across from Ana & Tomas teaching them the Word.

The kids had a really great time! So did we! We look forward to them coming back next week and we pray that this Bible study will grow!
