It is our last day of VBS and the team is determined to go all-out to make it the best day possible for all the kids. We had a late night last night of fantastic food and fellowship as church members opened their doors to us and cooked up a storm. We feasted on homemade tacos drizzzled with salsa and lime! Delicious, though some of the boys would rather forget about it (who could blame them? SEVENTEEN tacos is too many for any mortal!). ;)
Today has been a busy morning preparing all the backpacks filled with clothes and books for the children tonight. We will be leaving for our last soccer/basketball/water-balloon fun time in about 10 minutes. And then, it's off for our last night of VBS. We have all been greatly impacted by the children we have met and the things we have seen and learned. Our debrief times each night have shown hearts that have been softened by our interactions with the migrant families, and minds that are more aware of the undeserved blessings we have so abundantly through God's awesome grace.
We all will have so much to share with you when we return home! I hope you enjoy the pictures I put up as well. I'd like to get some more up (that's a very small sampling of all the memories we have) soon. But for now, I will bid you all farewell!
In Christ Alone, Lauren Roward

what a precious group of young children! Jesus loves them. "Whoever gives a cup of cold water in My name to one of these little ones, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward."
Matt 10:42
Praying for each of you-
the Mehringers
