The spa

  Today, in this amazing Country, we spent our day washing hair, painting nails, painting fences, washing feet, making kids smile, and many more great things. Our day was kicked off when we arrived at el refugio and spoke with the Martin and the rest of the stunning el refugio staff. Some of us were in charge of painting an iron fence in front of the refuge, others were interacting with the "customers" of our "spa", some people were washing feet and hands, and all others were scavenging through locks in search of Phthiraptera (Lice). As the kids arrived they were greeted by our lovely hostess' will & Stephanie. After they conversated and colored, they were guided to their second part of their cleansing which was washing their feet, hands, and painting nails which were done by our manicurist'/pedicurists' David, Jake, Rachel, And Aubrey. After they got their nails restored, they were brought to the hair cleaners which were John, Jann, and Tyler. At this point the children and mothers have made new friends, got their feet and hands cleaned, their nails painted, and their hair washed clean of Phthiraptera.You may think that their spa day is over but think again. Their day was capped off by giving each of the kids and mothers a personal hygiene kit which consisted of deodorant, shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste and much more! You could really see how god was working throughout the day when he brought over 20 women and children to get cleaned and how seeing their face after their cleansing. We concluded our day worshiping with Wilson and of course watching the NCAA finals b-ball game.
