Today was Day 2 of VBS. We had another good day, but we also learned our lesson too. Because we have a ‘spy’ theme for VBS, we gave all the kids little magnifying glasses. Well…. it didn’t take long for them to go around burning each other and other things. So Caroline had to confiscate them all. We learned our lesson the hard way – no weapons as gifts for the kids.
Confiscated Magnifying Glasses
We got a little sad news about one of the workers that takes care of the animals here. His wife had a baby last week and today we found out the baby died this morning. He is a good guy and we felt for him.
Today was one of those days you hate on mission trips. Our paint for the building never arrived and we had to cancel our project for the day. Many of the kids were not around as well. So it was a very long day. I found myself playing cards in my room. I did play Frisbee with a lid with one of the kids. Pastor Linn has been holding a class on Romans for some of the Kenyan leaders that want to dig deeper. So I ended up attending and it was really good for me. We covered Romans 3 and the topic of sin.
We had a little fun and placed a fake mechanical rat in the girls room before bedtime. For the record, Pastor Linn bought it in Dubai.
