Well week 2 has commenced! I am pretty excited to see what happens!
My first club began at 9 in Rosenhof, but actually did not begin until about 9:25. Haha but it was worth the wait. There were 11 kids! I was so encouraged. And I taught most of them at that club last year. They are a fun bunch, a good mix of ages and personalities.
Club number two is at a park in Waldeck, and there were no kids. So tomorrow before club I am going to go find some kids, hopefully! At my third club a mum sat in and I was saying how I didn’t have kids in Waldeck. She told me she drove the school bus there, and where I would have better luck advertising.
My third club was in Swift Current. It had six kids. I had taught all of them before at some point. Three of the kids were the hostesses great grand kids and i had taught them the year before, and the other three I had taught last week. So they kept trying to get out of singing or saying the memory verses, but I made them do them anyways. I didn’t want the rebelliousness they were exhibiting to spread to the younger three who didn’t know the songs.
My fourth club had four kids. I have taught three of the four at that club last year. It is actually just really nice being around kids you have already taught and seeing how they have changed in a year.
My fifth club had two kids. It took a bit of encouraging from one of the boys dad, but they both finally consented. It was good. They didn’t want to sing the songs but i went through the verses pretty thoroughly. And then we went through the stories. One of the boys wont be there tomorrow so I am not sure what is in store for that club.
Prayer requests for this week would be for endurance as I am trying to get over some fatigue. As well as kids for the clubs! I would love to be able to reach as many kids as possible in these communities. I guess guidance in where to advertise would also be appreciated. Advertising is not my favourite thing, mostly because I have a really hard time approaching strangers.
