This morning we had our second service of kids' crusade instead of the normal Sunday school for the youth. Bro. Pahlman taught the adults while the rest of the SENT team ran the kids' crusade. Today went much smoother than the night before and the kids responded better in the altars as well. Tonight’s theme was the call of God and we had a skit about answering the call of God from the royal telephone that Bro. Brock made. You definitely have to see pictures!
So the young people have this little game they play where they will assign someone a nickname that rhymes with your name. The meaning to us isn’t really funny but to them they think it is hilarious. My nick name is Melissa Pata lisa which means Melissa slippery foot. Rachel's is Rachel Pastel (which means Rachel cake…I told you they don’t make any sense!) Well now, whenever I walk into the church or get on the bus they call out Melissa patalisa! Tonight there was a little boy about two years old…he was the cutest little thing ever. His name was Danielito and all the other kids were calling out my nickname and he looked at Sissy and said Melissa patalisa! We tried to get him to do it on video but he was too shy. One thing is for sure, it is hard to come to Honduras and not fall in love with the kids and if you don’t have a heart for kids you sure will by the time you leave!
