Bonswa!!!!

Today was Day 2 of Vacation Bible School! When we arrived at the toddler house or Kay B, the kids were so excited to see us. We can hardly get through the gate without them coming up to us to give us hugs! :] Each day the kids get a Bible memory verse that they work on during the day with the nannies and if they can say it to us the next day, they get a piece of candy. They were so excited when we got there that they all started to say the verse to us!
Todays them for VBS was the story of the Lost Coin. When we started the kids each stood up one by one reciting their memory verse and even the nannies said it for us!
Kim S. told the story about the women in the Bible who lost a coin, but then found the coin! Kelsey then lead the kids in some songs. The kids LOVE to sing and do the motions to many of the songs! The kids then split up into groups and went to either the craft or the snack. Tori and I made coin purses with the kids. For snack, there were bowls with a cherrios in it with a chocolate coin at the bottom. The kids then went and tried to find prizes hidden in a pool of shredded paper. We then played "Red Light, Green Light" as a big group! After VBS we are able to just hang out and play with the kids in their play-yard! This is such a great time to get to the know the kids better!

After lunch, we spend the afternoon playing with our assigned kids at the main house. This can be difficult at times because this also happens to be naptime for many of our kids. But there are always many more babies that want to be held and cuddled with! :]

Please continue to pray for health as a few of us have been sick or aren't feeling the greatest. Thanks for all of your prayers and support!
