Back to Class

Today was a special day!  We got to go back to class.  It has been many years since any of us were in primary school, some longer than others.  This morning the school invited us to join them in a musical and teaching service.  We arrived a la escuela the same time the students were. 
Pastor Antonia and his guitar led us in beautiful worship.  The students sang their favorite songs, including actions.  They even gave us a special surprise and sang a song in English.  I'm staying with Josh and Candice Rose; Candice is the English language teacher at the school. She, Isamar, and Flor Castro are teaching the students praise songs in English.  After the song service, the students took part in a message from Daniel.  I'm going to be honest and say that I had not much of a clue was was being said, but did pick up on a few points.  The Pastor was very entertaining and had the students laughing and interacting the whole time.  I know enough Espanol (barely) to know he was speaking to the students about guarding their heart.  A deceived mind equals a deceived heart.  Mr. Bullard, headmaster of the Christian Heritage Academy in Oklahoma, spoke to the students via a translator.  He challenged the school kids to take the message to heart, and told them that his students in Oklahoma receive the same sermon regarding the mind and heart.
  After the service we divided into groups and visited classrooms.  The students were as excited to host us as we were to visit!
