Blog for Saturday, May 25
Today was mega-VBS-day.
Think traditional VBS (5 Bible lessons, 5 verses, 5 crafts, 5 sets of
games, and 5 sets of music) ALL in ONE day!
Whew. I know what you’re
thinking. Were there five snacks
too? Close. We had morning snack (tuna sandwich and mango
juice), lunch (homemade Fried Chicken and rice), and afternoon snack (smelly
round chip similar to a funion and mango juice). We had 18 children (and thankfully five
all-day adult helpers with a few additional ringers to help with lunch). I think everyone had a good time (and
hopefully, something was learned too)!
I’m fairly certain that the water balloons were the highlight of the
day.
Here are some interesting things I took away from the day:
- Noah had a ship (not an ark)
- We played a game “Would you rather?” One question I asked is would you rather eat candy or rice. Rice won…17 kids to 1. I mean, I knew islanders loved their rice, but 17 to 1?
- I asked another question, “Would you rather read a book or play a game.” This was another 17 to 1 answer. In favor of reading a book. I also found that interesting. We need to ship these people some books!
As you can see, Perry had a blast. (He did not partake in the water balloon
games. Something about water didn’t set well with his stuffing.)
In this picture you see the kids are holding up backpacks. I was able to (barely) squeeze in my luggage backpacks for the kids on this trip. I’m so grateful I had enough for the children today and should have enough as I travel on to Pohnpei next week. Each backpack als
I was able to end the evening with a beautiful island
sunset. (I have the “sunset” view at the hotel so I didn’t even have to leave
my room. I actually could have not even
left my bed, but there was something wrong watching a sunset sitting on a bed.)
And for a closer, I had an almost-warm shower. Sometimes, you just have to celebrate the
little things.
