So we shall be on our way in less than 2 weeks! Last night we had a great time together practicing our dramas and Vickie and Jennifer worked on VBS material. We were so thankful to have help from Matt Wilson on the dramas last night and I think the teams are ready for their dress rehearsal on Sunday (at 8 pm - if anyone wants to come and watch!)
I have spent a lot of time the last couple of days making the props (with Kathleen and Rachel's help). The directions and the materials were quite frustrating but I think they are going to end up being ok - esp from a distance! I am not the best at these types of crafts (props)!
We continue to be so thankful that we have raised all our funds and that $ continues to be provided for things like 1. Supplies we are buying. 2. Our possible extra luggage full of gifts/supplies. 3. Monies needed for our Compassion Day - for translators/staff/travel/lunch for 25+people. 4.. Visas when we arrive. 5. My new wardrobe (just kidding - I put that in to see if you were still reading!)
We were so encouraged by Matt last night when he reminded the students the purpose of these dramas they are learning. They have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility before them. They are sharing clearly the message of the Gospel (Good News) through these dramas in a place where most of us don't speak the language and those who see the dramas may be "hearing" the Good News for the very first time! How can we not be excited about that!
Let the countdown begin!
