There’s a song that I really like called ‘Wonder’ by Amanada Cook. A part in the song says

May we never lose our wonder, may we never lose our wonder. Wide eyed and mystified may we be just like a child, staring at the beauty of our King.”

This past week has really left me in more and more amazement of God. Of who He is and everything He does for us. It’s been a great way of starting out the summer, and I’m excited for what God has in store for tomorrow. So here’s what happened on Friday last week.

Club 2: This club has been a tough one to teach because the kids were constantly distracting one another. Friday was the same and I always hate being that teacher making rules and telling them to stop all the time. The club felt like it was dragging and I was sad that’s the way we would end our week of clubs. But as we were leaving, one girl who came later in week said that she really enjoyed the 5-Day Club and wanted to invite her friends next time. I was shocked cause I felt like we hadn’t accomplished anything that week. I found out from Grace after the club that she was the first new person to come to that club in 2 years she’s taught there. It was awesome to see how excited she was about her faith and really growing in her relationship in God.

Club 3: This club has been super fun to teach, and we have really enjoyed our time there. In all my years of teaching, I have always wanted to teach a farm club so I was ecstatic to find out we got one this year. At this club we have had 2 mailbox decisions and 1 decision there so that was really awesome. Now there was older boy there and the hostess’ grandson. At the beginning of the week he put up his hand after the invitation but we couldn’t do follow up with him because we always had rush to the next club. We saw his lesson and he put down that he was talking with his family about doing that. Grace and I were pretty excited and we knew that God was in complete control of the situation. So we got follow up done and we were super happy about that. We also challenged the kids that if they got 25 lessons on Friday they got to pie us. In the end they got 37 lessons so that was something that the kids enjoyed. We told them to make a line in front of the teacher the wanted to pie and in the end I got 8 kids out of the 10! It really was a privilege to get to teach such an awesome group of kids.

Club 4: So we had 13 kids and with this club everyday always seemed different. Friday was a really relaxed day and the kids were more excited for the stories than they were for the songs. At a point they were literally chanting to have a story, so I told them the Bible story. We challenged them to get 30 lessons in and one girl told us that she stayed up until midnight to finish all 7 lessons. (What makes so cool is the fact that we got to lead her to Christ the day before). In the end they also got to pie me. For some odd reason kids love to gang up on me and that’s what they did. After cleaning up we gave the hostess the Bibles for the kids that needed them. It was a great way of concluding clubs.

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for me this past I really appreciate the support.

God Bless,

Gwyneth
