Monday, July 6

Today was our first day for Crocodile Dock VBS. At first, it seemed like we might only have 10-20 children, but that soon changed and we probably ended up with over 40 on the first day! They are planning on giving out flyers in the neighborhood to draw in even more children so who knows how many we will end up serving this week!

Our youth are just amazing, already getting to know the youth and having fun. Our theme for the day is "God is with us." This was very evident in the words that were spoken, the laughter and smiles on children's faces, the songs that were sung and the leadership of our youth and adults!

Our AMAZING intern, Whitney, shared that a little girl named Stephanie said to her today that she was already so sad that we would be leaving soon. Whitney tried to reassure you that we'd be there all week, but the young girl just said, "I know, but it makes me sad that you will have to leave!" Precious!

It's been a good day.
