Happy New Year!! We were so tired last night I do not think anyone was awake to ring in the new year. Maybe some of the kids made it but I know for sure Aaron and Tyler crashed. It may have had something to do with their staying up too late the night before. :) The adults decided to celebrate with our fellow Texans at 8am this morning. Our celebration...we missed it! Some were trying to make the morning devotional on time and some were braiding hair so we were not even together. LOL! I can honestly say this is the BEST new year EVER! What a blessing it is to be here! Yesterday, we had 110 kiddos at our VBS and it was POURING down rain!! The kids just kept coming. It was AMAZING to witness! The FBC students were all in leadership roles and did a phenominal job!! Brandi led our group devotional last night on spiritual gifts and did an outstanding job! We had another great dinner provided by Darbi. Debbie brought a "Jack Fruit" for dessert. Be sure to go to Darbi's blog to see pictures. I think Debbie was a little disappointed...she planted a Jack Fruit Tree in her yard not knowing what it was. LOL! She was like me...did not try it. It looked NASTY! We were also blessed in that we did not lose electricity for long yesterday. Blu was prepared with candles and flashlights so it was no big deal at all. As for today, the boys are all building book shelves for the school. The girls are painting the windows of the school. Kelly and Darbi are setting up a classroom and I am working on laundry and costumes for the Nativity Play and VBS crafts. Those that know me, don't be shocked! Our costumes are simple...masks and head pieces...things I can handle!! Prayer warriers...please pray for no rain from 2-6pm so the kids can move freely without getting drenched at VBS and make it home as well. Love to all!
