Adventures Aventuras

Yesterday 16 of us went down to 8th Street in Miami for a little bit of cultural experiences before we go on the missions trips to Peru and Costa Rica. We had lunch at a Peruvian restaurant called El Chalan. It was awesome! (Thanks for the tip, Brian!) Then we went down 8th Street and broke up into 4 teams. We had to go around asking certain questions to people who didn't speak very much English. That's always a fun time! It rained the whole time, which added to our adventure.

Vacation Bible School. Escuela de Biblia de vacaciones

Last week was vacation Bible school (VBS). We had a lot of fun. I did the children's songs each night. (That's Kaulana's ukelele!) Robin did the teaching for 2 of the nights and helped out with games and things the other nights. We had a great time, but we're really tired. Wow, that was exhausting!

La semana pasada fue la escuela de biblia de vacaciones (VBS). Tuvimos mucho divertidos. Hice las canciones de los ninos cada noche. (!Ese el ukelele de Kaulana!)

Pesca en el mar

Robin went deep sea fishing with the men in the church. After 30 minutes on the boat Robin got sick. Not much fun for Robin. I heard the other men had fun.

Robin fue pesca en el mar con los hombres en la iglesia, despues de trienta minutos en el barco Robin estaba infermo. No diversion por Robin. Oi que otros hombres pasaron un buen rato.

Studying Estudiando

We study Spanish every Thursday. We are hoping to move to Peru next summer as full time missionaries. Sometimes studying can be fun and sometimes it can be difficult. Sometimes we are excited to study and sometimes it's the last thing we want to do. We are definitely learning perseverance.

Estudiamos espanol todos los jueves. Estamos esperando a muvir a Peru el proximo verano para ser misioneros tiempo completo. A veces estudiando esta divertido, y a veces esta dificil. Algunas veces estamos emocionados estudiar y a veces no le queremos nuestra tarea. Seguramente estamos aprendiendo perseverancia.

The baptism El bautizo

We had a baptism last Sunday at the beach. It's awesome to look at someone who really understands what they are doing and to see their excitement for the Lord. We are truly new in Christ. Tuvimos un bautizo el domingo pasado a la playa. Es estupendo viendo a alguien que entiende que esta haciendo y ver su entusiasmo por el Senor. Verdaderamente estamos nuevos en Cristo.

Acts 22:14-16 "Then he said, 'The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth. For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.' "
Hechos 22:14-16 Luego dijo: "El Dios de nuestros antepasados te ha escogido para que conozcas su voluntad, y para que veas al Justo y oigas las palabras de su boca. Tu le seras testigo ante toda persona de lo que has visto y oido. Y ahora, ?que esperas? Levantate, bautizate y lavate de tus pecados, invocando su nombre."
