Hey everyone! I hope your second week is going as well as mine. I’m having so much fun out here in Kinistino/Birch Hills.
My first club in Birch Hills had 7 kids. Two of the little girls who came yesterday will be back tomorrow, and the other should be around again on Friday. They all listened quietly and were disappointed when I left off Tony in a cliffhanger. Every single one of them brought back their lessons and said a memory verse, and a couple of them asked for all 7 lessons today so they could try to finish them by tomorrow so they could finish the questionnaire in the “Meet the King” book before Friday.
The VBS at Kinistino Community Church doubled in size today! We went from 7 to 14 (one little girl brought 4 friends!), so now all the kids are super excited about trying to get the football or even the frisbee. They’re all trying to invite friends and do their lessons and memorize verses. Apparently I’m good at today’s Little Rascal cliffhanger because all the boys groaned and everyone at both clubs were mad at me. In my first club the little boy pouted on the lawn and said, “I don’t wanna sing songs, I don’t wanna hear a bible story. I wanna hear about Tony!!”
It’s great because all the kids are so into it, and I forgot how much I like teaching alone. I’m really enjoying getting to know my billets and the kids at my clubs.
Please pray for more kids at the first club, since some told me they won’t be able to come back tomorrow and all their friends seem to be busy or out of town this week, and they’re really disappointed about that.
Thanks everyone, and especially my CG Elfrieda! I appreciate your prayers so much!

My name is Olivia Mile. I'm from Regina, SK. I'll be 18 in August, and I just finished grade 12. I plan on attending Nipawin Bible College in the fall. This is my 4th summer teaching 5-Day Clubs and I'm very excited for this summer of ministry. Some prayer requests I have for the summer are: 1. Safety on the roads as I drive this summer, and that God would keep my car in good working condition and there would be no issues with any of that 2. That God would make me effective in ministry this summer and that he would speak through me as I teach and that he would receive all the glory 3. That the children in the clubs I teach every week this summer would have soft hearts to hear the gospel and respond
