Day 5, guess I was off by one day!

Today was our second day of vbs and it was so fun as well. The kids were just as excited today as they were yesterday. We started off with songs once again. We taught them this little light of mine. Then it was off to our station rotations. Our first stop was frisbee. We did our best at teaching them the right way to throw a frisbee, but when you aren't that great at throwing it yourself, it makes it very difficult. They did great and we even started to play ultimate frisbee. These kids are so agile and quick. Next it was off to some coloring pages and mazes. It is so fun to watch these kids get to select more than just one color to color with. The take so much time on their work and always hold it up to you for a thumbs up. It breaks my heart as we watch them try to stuff the crayons or other craft stuff into their pockets. We keep reassuring them these will stay here for them. The class's room that we squeezed into was so tiny. You could not walk around the tiny benches that they squeezed three kids on each of them. we have such an abundance in the states. Next it was more songs in prep for lunch dismissal. We threw in the song, I said a boom chicka boom. Such a great song for them to get into. As we drove off to lunch we passed kids on the street yelling it as us. These are the images forever pressed in my memory. Joyful singing kids. When we returned from lunch it was time to make pinwheels which were the biggest hit of the day. At one point the little kids came running out of the church building with their pinwheels and it was this sea of colors. We even got the chance to hand some extra ones over the fence to the kids not as fortunate. The kids were trying to take more than one again. A tough to not just make them all 5 of them if they want. The school is working hard on respect. The kids are actually very well mannered. Rarely to the go a little crazy and it usually about silly things. Wee ended our day with parachute time and a faith demonstration. It was a great day. For dinner, we ate with the church officials to discus our furth partnering with Calvary and what our next steps are. Please be praying over a possible expansion of the school project. It would be great to have more kids be able to attend. Emotions were pouring out today as everyone is exhausted. Sorry this blog is lacking but I am beat. Currently listening to the local night life, hoping for no wild dogs fights, cst fights, crazy storms, parties with loud music till 3am. Instead just some rest so I can be my best tomorrow for these kids. Bruce and I are leading tomorrow!
