The place that we found the clay was a Catholic center here in town, called "Casa de Família". They have a trade school, children's home, soup kitchen for the elderly, and a community center. As part of their programs (which are numerous) they have this pottery project. A few young men make pottery and sell them. When we were there last week to get the clay we asked if the girls could come back when the guys would be making stuff and watch, as well as try it out themselves. Today was the day!

I was in your parent's Sunday School class and they passed your blog onto all of us. I love following it. It reminds me to pray for you when I check it and I love seeing how the Lord is working with all of you in the mission field. Love all of the updates!
ReplyDeleteHi! I have been reading your entries to Caroline and showing her the pictures of the girls! She said, "That's pretty cool! We love you (the McDaniel Family!) and we wish WE could live there to tell people about Jesus!" :) She is really proud of your girls and so are we!! We recently had a break from school and went to the beach! It was a lot of fun! We hope that you are doing well, and we will pray for the prayer requests!
ReplyDeleteI bet the girls really enjoyed their pottery class. Val and I miss you all.
