Day 2 is finished! We need a lot of prayer because 2 of our 3 clubs shrunk to 2 kids and our other club didn’t change.
Our first club in Sask Beach had the same kids as yesterday, who were all the hostesses kids. It’s a really fun club and the kids are really into the songs and stories and informed us that they listened to the cd on their way to swimming lessons. 2 of them did their lessons and 2 said a memory verse. Hopefully some of their friends will be able to come tomorrow.
At Olivia’s grandmas club we only had the two Filippio kids who have been accompanied by their 17 year old brother. 2 girls from yesterday had told us they couldn’t come back today because they were going away and 2 other boys also from yesterday didn’t come back, which is really too bad because they didn’t come from a Christian family. The funniest thing from that club was the fact that I found out I have a Filippino twin! (Olivia also talks about this in her blog post today). The 17 year old brother was telling me how much I looked and acted (and danced) like his cousin, plus our names ryhmed.
I am praying that more kids will come tomorrow.
Our last club started out kind of awkward because we only had the hostesses two older boys and we didn’t know how they were going to act with it just being the four of us. But I learned quickly that if we didn’t act awkward they wouldn’t either and we ended up having a lot of fun and the 12 year old even did his lesson and we laughed a lot. Especially at ourselves. When I insisted on singing “Do You Belive” Olivia wasn’t so keen on the idea because of how slow and dramatic it is (that key change though) we ended up laughing almost all the way through it because the boys did not look impressed and Olivia was thinking that we should not sing that song tomorrow or else the boys would not show up ( even though they lived there) because of these wierd 17 year old girls trying to sing this super dramatic song. Another time we burst out laughing was when Olivia was teaching The Little Rascal and she said “Tony stole people” instead of “Tony stole FROM people.” I’m glad this club is fun even though it’s small. I am hoping and praying these boys would be able to bring some friends tomorrow.
We need a lot of prayer for this week that more kids will come and hear the message we have for them.
(At this moment I’m making Olivia listen to “Do You Believe”)
