May 17-18, VBS continues


Even more kids...there has to be 300 by now!!!All the kids want to hug me, hold my hand, sit on my lap and feel and play with my hair. I love these kids and want them to see just how much I love them too!!! I am holding up quite well, even though the heat is unbearable. I am covered in heat rash..huge whelping sweat bumps that are so painful. Sometimes, I have to step aside and just get a big drink of water and fight the feeling of fainting. It is extremely hot..words can't do it justice!! Plus, we have had some bumps along the way ( and not just my heat rash).. One girl just sprayed vomit all over the place during opening exercises. It was everywhere all over everything. That was an ordeal. .. then, we had a girl who came sick with diarrhea..and just pooped everywhere. All over her seat in the class room, all the way to the bathroom, all over the rug, the floor and toilet! It was horrible!!



Since I wasn't a teacher this year, I was able to spend time with the mothers that came with their kids while the teachers were teaching in the classrooms. I was able to sit and really share the Gospel with some of them. One lady pictured above beside me, named Nancy, REALLY listened and I shared the Gospel with her. She wants to come back to our church and promised me she would be there next Sunday!!



Really, the Lord is blessing our efforts. We are building up the message of salvation clearly each and every day so that by tomorrow, they will be ready for the Evangelistic Circles. We will be breaking the kids up into small groups and sharing the Gospel more intensely with them in small more intimate groups.
