Dia del Amor y Amistad

A few weeks ago, we celebrated "Día del Amor y Amistad" (Day of Love and Friendship) here in Mexico also known as Valentine's Day. On Sunday afternoon, February 14th, we had a big party for all of our Club kids to celebrate God's love. We had a lot of fun doing all kinds of activities with them: face-painting, a coloring craft, relay races, singing, and more. At the end of the party, we had a special drama to the song "La Niña de Tus Ojos" ("The Apple of Your Eyes"). The song is based off the verse Psalm 17:8 that says "Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings." Here are some pictures from the day...

  1. That's cool! For Valentine's Day this year my 5th grade class passed out cards to each other, but nothing as extravagant as your club in Mexico. Speaking of Mexico, our class got a spanish exchange student named Mariana. Glad to see thateverything is going well in Mexico!;)
