Hello! So yesterday my clubs were cancelled… Over a day and a half of rain resulted in about 6 inches of water, plus the wind was gusting pretty intensely. I called my one billet and she and I agreed it was probably not the safest day to travel, and my other billet texted me and told me that there would be no kids so I shouldn’t drive the hour it takes to get there. So I spent the day reading, sleeping, and visiting with my neighbours who happen to be my billets kids and their families. So there was a lot of coffee involved, a colouring contest, long hours of chatting, and a movie to end the night.
Today when I began my drive there was not a cloud in the sky! Hallelujah! And the roads were dry and there was no wind! So I made it out to Mankota for my first club. There was just one little fella, who became a brother in Christ. I was so excited to tell him we were now siblings (i don’t think he has any siblings of his own…) He is just such a smart kid. And for not being churched or owning a Bible he sure knows an awful lot! I was so glad to have the one on one time with him! And I gave him his very own Bible! He was so excited! He honestly brings so much joy to my mornings.
I went for lunch with my morning hostess, and then went on my way. I was running low on fuel so I made a bit of a detour and found a co-op. Although it was a cardlock they assisted me in getting some gas. I am so glad i was able to find fuel I was having a bit of a panic attack because I forgot to fuel up yesterday. But God is good and provides!
I then drove to my second club in Wood Mountain Regional Park. I must say the drive to Wood Mountain is quite fun. The road twists and turns with a lot of hills! It a bit of a jaunt from my other clubs but it is sure an exciting drive! My Club had 8 kids, although one left five minutes in… to go swimming… because it was IMPORTANT. I tried convincing him to stay because club is also important, but to no avail. In his defense he is the only boy so he might have been overwhelmed. I really hope he chooses to stay tomorrow though. As I was telling the Noah story all the kids were asking so many questions like: “where did the fishes go?” “oh did the fishes stay in the water?” “what about the dinosaurs?” “did the dinosaurs die 1 million years ago?” “No, did the dinosaurs die 100 days ago?” and on and on the questions went. Haha i tried to answer the best I could.
My third club did not have any kids at it again. I am not sure what to do with this one. For being in a campground that looks rather populated it feels like a ghost town whenever I go there. I sat around for about 45 minutes reading my Bible and praying that if it was God’s will someone, anyone would show up. My only takers were the ants that repeatedly littered their fallen comrades on the pages of my Bible… So I decided to head back to my billets. I am hoping someone shows up to the Thomson Lake one tomorrow, but I am leaving it in God’s hands.
Well that about sums up my last two days of adventures. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer as much as I am enjoying mine!
