Pictures!

We had a wonderful day welcoming the team from Hope Church.  The following 2 pictures are of the team being welcomed at the airport by the kids from the Alta Munyapata neighborhood.   






After getting settled in at the hotel, the team went out to Alta Munyapata neighborhood and participated in a formal welcoming ceremony.  There were dance presentations done by members of the community and each member of the team was presented with a flower necklace.  Afterwards the team hung out with the kids from the community for a while before heading back into Sucre.  



















After the ceremony the kids came over to our place for supper and a team meeting.  We ate on the roof of our apartment building and then had the meeting inside because it was getting a little chilly!  






It was such a blessing to have the team here in our home.  They are all doing SO well and are so excited to be here and get started working tomorrow.  The Ravelo team will leave Sucre tomorrow at 6 am.  John will be able to call every evening to check in with the team and get an update on how and what they are doing.  So I may not have pictures of the Ravelo team but should have an update for you.  

I hope all the parents of these kids are able to sleep well tonight.  I can assure your kids will be sleeping well!  They've had a busy day!
