Operation Christmas Child in Arriaga, MX

This Sunday was our bi-annual Operation Christmas Child/Samaritans Purse handout! Our church was given over 150 boxes from the states to give away to needy children this year and so we went all out. The children's department threw a huge fiesta with clowns and puppet shows. Bill Woods put on a tranquelatrist (spelling???) show and everything! It was a great party and the sanctaury was FILLED with kids. Finally the boxes came out and we formed an assemble line to pass them down and place them into the hands of these children. Shrieks of joy came abounding from the group and with the word all the children began to rip open their boxes, revieling little luxouries we take for granted in the States. Shampoo, soap, wash rags, toothpaste, toothbrushes, toys, dolls, crayons and much more. Here are some pictures of these amazing kids and this amazing day!
