VBS Catch UP

It is easy through the course of a day to have the best of intentions when it comes to posting updates, but then a new friend will wave me over and, well, their desire to hang with me trumps my desire to type on the computer.

Late late late Sunday night we were joined by a team from Indianapolis.  Throughout the week we have been collaborating with them on VBS in the morning and then spending our afternoons hanging out in the houses with the kids that don't go to school.

Here are some glimpses into VBS...

\Because of the VBS outbreak, our numbers for VBS have been lower than planned and some of the faces fluctuate.  It is good to see some of the other kids come as the Aiyi's decide that they're healthy enough to come out of the houses.

In the afternoons we go to visit the kids who are home from school with the "chickie pox".    It is great to see their faces light up when we come in and begin to pull crafts out of our bag.  (Word seems to spread that the bag is kind of like that of Mary Poppins because later in the day other kids come up and start requesting specific activites to do.)

I'd like to request special prayers for baby Leah.  She is 3 months old and has been at Shepard's Field for 6 weeks and hasn't gained any weight.  They aren't sure what is wrong with her.  This precious little girl isn't doing very well and needs some devine intervention.
