TMK VBS: Day 1

The first day of vbs! Things were awesome!!! The moment the kids showed up I couldn’t help but smiling because there were so many familiar faces! And at the same time there were a lot of new faces… a good mix for a great VBS :] soo… for starters. The song time was very encouraging (especially since I’m leading songs). Last year was kind of hard at first because none of the kids really started doing the motions until 2-3 days into the VBS, but this year all of the kids were following along on the first day! It was great… let’s see… craft time was good… I’m not sure how the story time was first hand but it sounded like the kids were having a lot of fun and learning the verse really well. Today’s verse: I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. The concept of sin and God’s forgiveness for it isn’t something that’s easily understood by the Japanese people, so continued prayer for God using us to reach them. Lunch was delicious… then there was PE in the Park. It was really fun and the kids really seemed to enjoy it. It’s been a lot of fun hanging out with the missionary families and kids too: Some old ones from last year and meeting some new ones too. They’re all pretty awesome and a lot of fun to hang out with :). Ooookay. I’m kinda tired… even though it’s only 7:22 here… but still. Long day. Lots of running around with kids. Ohhh… not to mention playing with one of the little kids for an hour or something while we waited for him to get picked up. Fun for part of it… but also quite tiring haha. Kids have too much energy… and everyone is looking pretty tired tooo…. So continued prayer for God to supply us with the energy and sustenance we need would be appreciated! Mmm… where was I… dinner… hanging out… blogging… and we’ll see what else happens later tonight. One of the missionary kids really wants to watch a movie, but people are tired too…. I guess we’ll see. Until next time…. Bai bai! ^^V

P.s. I’ll try to come back and add pictures later….
