Pla Pla Community Kids

Kids from Pla Pla community showing off the Easter eggs they found.

"Will you read with me?"  Was the first thing out of Ben's mouth as he walked up carrying the Bible we gave him last week.   "Of course!" We responded.  As other kids began to gather and play, Ben and Taam sat on a bench reading stories from the Bible. 

Sometimes I wonder if spending half a day chasing kids around, singing songs, teaching English, and listening to a Bible story is a good use of my time, but then one of the kids come up and says they want to read the Bible.  That brings everything back into perspective.  More perspective comes when a parent walks by and stops to listen during our story time or gives a friendly smile and says, "The foreigners have arrived!" as we walk by their house.

Taam, our amazing teammate, made eggs out of clay for the kids and brought all the supplies to paint them.

The kids had a great time.  It was their first time decorating eggs, and they wanted to get everything perfect.

After covering every inch of their eggs, the boys resourcefully held them in front of the fan to dry.
