First Day of VBS


 Today was the first day of vacation bible school, it was a great turn out. There was a total of 153 kids! It may have gotten a little crazy at times, but it was such an experience! The kids there are so loving and all they really want is your attention. This is one of the girls who I became close with. She really adored me and my time spent with her. I cant wait to go back again tomorrow to spend more time with them. Were hoping that there will be at least 200 by Saturday. Its hard being away from home and not seeing people I see everyday, but the kids keep my mind off everything. -Jerica-

What an awesome turnout! Are you in a tent, @ the church? What time does VBS start? What is your VBS schedule? How can we pray? Love, Teri

That is an amazing amount of kids! Hurray! Are any of the local church people helping you?
We continue to pray!
Love, Greg and Chris
