Day 6 - May 14 - Monday

Today we got up super early to perform at Sylvio De Guilli School. After a little mix-up with administration, we finally found a place to set up and performed for two groups of middle and high schoolers. The school provided us with a "snack break" (more like a whole lunch), then we went on a walk around the area near the school. We visited a small church taht had another building being added on, and Sillas told us about it. This church had been praying for a way to expand for a while, and they finally raised enough money just to lay the foundation. The mayor randomly stopped by the project and asked how many bricks they would need to finish the project, then provided the bricks for them! Soon after that, a church member called and asked how much the roof would cost. The pastor said that it would cost about $20,000, and the member donated $30,000! When told that he had given more than they needed, he just told them that he knew they would need it for something else later. :) So cool how God provides! We continued on to a restaurant where we ate lunch, then came back to the school for two more performances. It was really tiring doing four vigorous performances in such a short amount of time, but it was so incredibly worth it! One really strange thing that we realized here is that were are "celebrities" because we're from America. Every kid wanted a photo with us, our signature on their schoolbooks, or even just a hug. After one performance, we even had to go "hide" in a nother room because the kids wouldn't leave us to go to their classes! We did have some great interaction with a few of the more quiet kids though, and our dramas even left a few girls in tears. Wanger took a couple of kids aside over the course of our performances to talk with them further because they were so moved. After our performances we went back to our homes and took a nap, which actually turned into in-depth soul baring time for some of us girls. I love how God keeps drawing our team closer together! I love these beautiful girls so much. :) After dinner in our respective houses, the boys went to go play soccer with some youth kids, and all of us girls went to Sillas and Wanger's house for a girls' night with ice cream and a "Thou Shalt Laugh" dvd. It was so much fun hanging out with Wanger and my "sister", Juliana, who came with us!
