Day two of our time here with the Como kids was awesome. We started with some silly songs and then the Grouchy Rooster (Kyle) came and interrupted Matt! So Captain VBS (Trey) came and saved the day! My attempt to start the Captain VBS chant failed, but the kids made up their own, and Captain VBS still came! After the skit, we split into our different stations: crafts, silly songs, games, and skits. Ben, Rachel, Matt and I led silly songs. We found out that the older kids really aren't in to the whole 'silly song' thing. The younger kids got really into it, and it was so much fun! There was one girl in the older group, however, who finally got into it. We were singing "I'm All Wrapped Up" and there was one corner of girls who were just not doing it. So this girl goes up to the corner and says "Guys! Do it! Get tangled up in JESUS! Come on!" That was just cool to watch, because she was one of the people who, at the beginning of the time together, didn't want to do anything. So after our first session of VBS, we went rollerskating with them. That was a crazy time, let me tell you! Our group wasn't the only one there, so it was confusing at times! But still fun all the same. 2 little kids came and sat with me for a minute and wanted to take pictures on my camera. It was fun to watch how excited and happy they got when they took one picture. (If I could upload pictures from my phone to my blog I would, but they'll be on Facebook Friday!)
Today was so impacting. These kids just keep amazing me every second I am with them. Most of them are some of the most polite kids I've ever met. These kids are awesome. I don't want Friday to come. Keep praying for our trip. Thanks for reading about and following our trip so far!
