Well, Ms. Sherry taught us a new word: Flexible




Well, lets just say that HPC VBS wouldn't be right without a last minute change in schedule. We prepped all the way to Africa, and the whole while we've been here on our schedule. What teams would do what, etc. Well our first craft was picture frames. The children were to make picture frames for the pictures we would take today and print today. Did you know it takes 2 minutes per page to print one picture? Now multiply that times 300+ children, and it's not just a couple of hours. We started taking/printing pictures @ approx 11:30 and ended up having to leave @ 4:30 so Isaac could get to a preaching engagement he had tonight. So they didn't get to do their craft(not enough frames, other suitcase still hasn't made it), nor did they get to break up into groups for just about anything. We did get to hand out the pictures we printed, with the rest to come tomorrow. The one thing we did get to do was teach 300 African children "The lawnmower dance", and yes Emma, I did dance in public. I actually got on stage and danced! The children had a blast! I get to do a devotion tomorrow to the leaders of the church. It's called facing your fears. God definately has me doing that these last couple of weeks! I love & miss ya'll!
