WOW...what a day! VBS went great again. We had about 98 kids. The river was running over the road so we suspect that is why we had fewer kids. Last night Red led our devotional and did a great job. After our devotional, for the first time since we have been here, we had a clear sky. We went out to see the stars. Oh my...words can not describe the beauty of it all! We all stood in absolute awe! I wanted to get my good camera to try to get a picture but I must agree with Tyler that no picture could capture the true beauty of it! God is so AWESOME! While we were looking at the stars, Aaron, Tony & Blu walked back up to New Day to get milk in complete darkness only to get there and realize Blu forgot his keys! LOL! So they walked all over the campus looking for the keys or someone with keys and had to return empty handed. Aaron said they raced back in the mud. I am so glad I was not in that race!! We made it in time for the morning devotional with the employees of New Day today. Kelly led and did a great job! This morning, Blu had to take little Ben to the doctor. Kailey got to go observe in the clinic. For those that do not know, she is studying to be an RN and would like to do work on the mission field. Who knows...she may work at New Day in the future. :)Cassie went too for a little extra time with Blu. Jimmy is tuning Darbi's piano and the other guys have been hanging white boards, curtain rods and rennovating the lunch room for the kids. Darbi, Kelly and I worked on setting up an office for the social worker and organized all the New Day school & office supplies. The girls have been painting and are covered with oil based paint. I forgot to tell y'all that yesterday, when Ash had paint on her, one of the little girls, Laurie, comes up to her and gets grass and rubs it all off. It actually worked well but Ash said it was a bit uncomfortable!! We have all the supplies ready for VBS. We have been working at night to get them ready. All of the costumes are ready except we have to make angel wings. Tomorrow is the program. Kelly and the girls have been practicing hard with the children. The kids want a dress rehearsal. :) We will video the program so we can share it with everyone. Things could not be going any better. Well, we could do with a little less rain. Speaking of rain, your prayers worked! We only had a couple short showers during VBS yesterday...not even enough for the kids to have to come inside. The funniest part was we got drenched walking back from VBS! Today, it is about to storm so hopefully it will not be enough to cover the road and it will be all the rain we get today! Well, that is all for now. It is time for lunch! Love to all!
