Our VBS was rained out! After some team prayer time and discussion, we decided to rearrange the week schedule and go into downtown Guanajuato for the evening instead of on Wednesday night.
We had dinner at a Mexican chain called VIPS (veeps) and explored the market and exchanged money. We returned to camp and had a devotional and prayed for the morning, the weather and the hope of doing VBS tomorrow.
After a good rest the team is having breakfast, dressed in work clothes and ready for devotions! We meet at 8am for construction.
