THURSDAY



FRIDAY




Sunday afternoon we worked to prepare for VBS
Everyone wants to pose with G.I. Jeremiah.








MONDAY!

Monday morning chapel :-)



Tuesday's Bible lesson with the younger crowd may have had only 5 students but it took three workers' energy to keep them facing in the right direction so they could SEE ( deaf kids "hear" with their eyes ) what was being taught


Laurie Teel is with us this week.  Here she is leading songs in chapel.




And three people shared testimonies!  How wonderful to hear what God is doing in the lives of our new friends














We had a good day with work done and relationships built.



We played at the beach, enjoyed seeing mothers chatting together and children enjoying fish and each other.
