What a day! Madisen, Bree, Toni and I set out in the morning to purchase food and supplies for 20 needy families in Primo Tapia. We made it back just in time to catch the second set of dance classes and the chaos of crafts.... Bree was dubbed our Craftmaster and the team was out of sorts with her not there.
While we were out shopping, the rest of the team was at the reno house painting, painting and.... painting. Amazing transformations were taking place as colors filled the walls. I'm so excited to get in there tomorrow and hang a few pictures of the family on the wall. We will be dedicating the home tomorrow evening.
The evening was spent playing with Bella and Lucas while we gave Toni and Erin a well-deserved break and sent them out for dinner. We also split into teams to sort and package the food hampers and finish some more painting and hang doors in the reno house.
Of course the evening was topped off with some delicious ice cream at the local ice cream parlour. When Toni and Erin came to pick up the kids, we had a great time hearing some stories of the the kids at Casa De Luz and their backgrounds.
Highlights for the day - Carl and Jon set up a ropes course at the local park and the kids had a blast out there and lots of neighbourhood kids joined in to try it out.
Seeing the change in Isabell and Ramone's home take place when color was added!
And giving Fransisco his care package. Fransisco has been making such big changes and is the only father in the program so because we were blessing the moms, we wanted to bless him to. We gave him a bunch of new clothes, a pair of shoes and a bag of Freestyle clothes. He eyes were welling up as we shared how we wanted to bless him as a father that is fighting for his kids. Really cool time!
Here's a few more pics from the day...
The kids helped unload the hamper supplies into the Casa De Luz.
Dance class, teaching Jetes - leaps across the floor. Once I put my binder down for them to jump over, they got it!
Last full day tomorrow. Pray for us. We need our rest as it will be another full day of giving out hampers, finishing the house and one last camp time with the kids at Casa De Luz.
