The Simple Pleasures of Life.

This blog is dedicated to all the children in this world who make life seem so simple. Who bring joy, laughs and innocence to what seems like a failing world. 

Here is a great video of some of the kids Kristin and I watch at the church. You HAVE to watch it! They like playing with the lights....but one little girl gets scared... ;)

Another great video. I love the ending, where Raquel says ¨dame¨ which means ¨give to me¨ and you will see she is referring to the camera :)

These kids have really inspired me. Who would have thought that a bunch of kids could teach a 22 year old one of the most important lessons of all?

One great thing about Paraguay is their freedom to evangelize in public places. In the United States, Chile, Brazil and Argentina (just some examples), going into a public institution and spreading one´s religious beliefs is prohibited. However, Paraguay still has the opportunity (and it is a great one) to spread the love of Jesus in any public institution who invites them or accepts their invitation. Just the other day, Kristin and I had the priviledge of going to a nearby public elementary school to watch the kids from our church put on a theatrical play about Jesus and His love for us. They had no shame in what they were doing, despite the giggles some of the kids gave them. They remembered all their lines and their motions. I was literally inspired and awe-struck. What faith, passion and bravery they have to stand up in front of young students, teachers and directors who do not know Christ! Just watching the faces of the students and fellow onlookers was amazing. The kids had their divine attention and several people accepted Christ. Glory be to God!!!!

This scene was acting out the ¨angel on the right shoulder, devil on the left shoulder¨ idea.

Not only great actors they were, but they had great costumes!

These girls were adorable. Cesia (pastors daughter) is on the left and Fiorela (the daughter of a friend of ours from the church) is on the right. They were so great!

All of them in action!

This little girl was just in the audience. I added this because she looks so much like my little sister did when she was little!! Right, parents!? ;)

I love this girl. Her name is Raquel. I would seriously put her in my pocket and take her back to the US with me if I could! ;)
