I can't believe that it's already Thursday.  This week has gone by sooooo fast.  Today I had one of the best experiences at VBS.  We've been doing VBS since Monday and I would say that today was the best one.  We went up on the roof of the school we were working at because they didn't want to go outside, and we could see the mission base from there so that was pretty cool.  All of the older kids were standing in one corner of the roof and during the game all of these girls wanted to take a picture with each one of us.  They didn't even know who we were but they were so excited to stand next to us and get their picture taken.  They sometimes even requested to take multiple pictures with different people.  I thought that it was really fun.  Then we went into their classrooms to work on the craft, and Bekah and I worked together.  They also went kind of crazy when we took out our cameras.  The worst part of my day today was when the little kids in that room asked us if we were coming back tomorrow and I had to say no.  In the afternoon I painted at a school, and that went well too.  We got quite a bit done and we're planning on stopping by tomorrow to finish it.  My whole week has consisted of VBS, paint, funny jokes, hanging out with everyone on this wonderful team, time with God, lots of prayer, and tons of great memories.  I'm positive that this will be one trip that I will for sure not forget and I really need to figure out how to put everything I've learned here into my life back in MN.
Peace and Love,
