We are into day four of our English camp and neat things are happening. Besides the fact that the Mexican kids are learning English, they are building relationships with the kids from Cleveland. Daily, we have a time of icebreaker games, a group song, skit, a time of watching a small video clip and then a time of small groups where the Cleveland kids ask comprehension questions in English and the Mexican kids respond in English. We also have some time to eat (today it was a traditional Mexican dish called a corn dog...I'm being sarcastic) and do a craft. For three evenings we invited the kids to come back for what would amount to a youth group meeting. Last night, we went to an activity center called Funcentral. Some kids went ice-skating and others played paintball. Ingrid and I went bowling with some parents of the kids and we got to know Jose and Tere. There really seems to be an intrigue with what we are doing in Mexico. All the parents know we are missionaries and we are teaching the Bible with our English lessons. That does not seem to be scaring them. They seem to know that there is a difference that is positive between what we teach and live and what is traditional Mexican beliefs.
