Weekend activities


On Saturday we had a super fun cookout with our small group at the home of Cesar and Teresa and their 2 girls.
Food prep team.
They live nearby and have a beautiful piece of property with a view looking out on the nearby Andes mountains. It was fun to get everyone together for a social event and we felt like this has been our best one yet- with everyone participating and enjoying each others company. We sat around after eating and told most embarassing moments in order to get to know each other better (Scotty's idea)- and it was a great way to spend an hour or so laughing!
Scotty and I have been teaching 10-12 year old Sunday school, trying to learn how to interact with this age group and teach them about the Bible. Many of them bring little brothers or sisters or neighbors with them, as parents are often working on the weekends, which can be a big distraction. But, we are hopeful that the gospel is affecting their tender hearts and we look forward to more opportunities to teach them. Book activity time.
We also attended the wedding of a family that lives in the neighborhood. The couple that got married don't attend our church, but the parents do, and it was neat to get a small group from Mallasilla Bible Church together to celebrate this special day.
