NAOMI House Daily Blog - Day 3

Hello church, happy Wednesday!

Though you are probably reading this Thursday onwards. For today, we had our usual VBS where we focused on the strength of God in overcoming our struggles. We played games like marshmallow tower building to tackle our obstacle of making the highest tower. In the afternoon, we went to the park and did many activities like volleyball, basketball, and climbing a tree as a group of 8.

And then we went to Dairy Queen to enjoy some much needed ice cream under the hot sun. Overall, it has been an amazing trip so far; the kids are always such a joy to be around. Personally, besides spending time with the NAOMI kids and youth, my favorite part of the trip has been our worship sessions. Hearing many kids and youth sing and enjoy worshipping the Lord is nothing short of amazing.

Today we had a blast! We woke up feeling great. We went to el baño and got ready for the day. After we ate breakfast and left no crumbs, we started our youth activities, such as a pool noodle game, human foosball, and making slime. Then we had small groups and ate lunch with the kids. The kitchen crew was stellar. We were full for the whole day with yummy food in our tummy. When we went to the park, we ran around in the hot sun and played infection. Then we went to Dairy Queen, where there were 2 real life cowboys who aggressively side-eyed us. We all finished our ice cream and went back to the house. After, we spent quality time with each other talking about special times and memories. Sarina started napping and then 5 more people joined her on the same couch. Later, we played on the swings and played ball tag with the kids. We ate dinner and it was so delicioso. Then we started our chores (such a hassle). We hung out with the kids until they went to bed and after, we started preparing for the games for the next day. Long story short, the floor became very muddy. And now we’re here, writing the blog! Bye!
