Saturday Night at the Cafe

Last Saturday night (June 16th) we had a very special night at the Cafe. It was Ayla´s last Saturday night at the Cafe. The night started out with some praise and worship around a campfire. We sang both English and Spanish songs. We tried to teach the kids the hand motions to ¨Lord I lift Your Name on High¨ but we confused them because we all knew different variations of the motions. After we sang we played some games. One particular game envolved embarassing the loser of the game. Some of the ¨losers¨ had to sing songs (all the kids enjoyed Steven´s version of ¨I´m a little teapot¨) some of the other ¨losers¨ had to dance. After all the games Ayla gave message about Jesus. She spoke in Spanish and definately kept the attention of the kids. After Ayla´s message we cooked smores. Most of the kids were very skeptical of the smores at first. They had never tried them and weren´t sure about the weird looking sandwich. But, after they tried them they loved them!
The night was a huge success; all the kids had a great time and it was a nice way to say bye to Ayla. All us interns really miss Ayla´s beautiful singing voice and her art.
