Hello, it feels like ages since I have blogged! What has happened this week?
I was in Kindersley this week and I had a blast. So I only had one VBS but I was able to rest a lot this week, and hang out with my billets a lot as well!
I drove to Kindersley Tuesday morning, which meant I left around 7am. I arrived in Swift Current about an hour and a half later to grab another coffee and some sunflower seeds. While in the gas station grabbing some seeds and a map, the attendant asked me some questions about my job and then give me the nickname “Preacher.” Haha he was so kind for having to work so early and was so enthusiastic about my work!
I rolled into Kindersley around 11:45 and met the Pastor inside the church. We chatted a bit and I got set up. He wasn’t sure how many kids were going to show up. The first three days had 9 kids! and today we had 13 I believe. Over the week I was able to lead one little girl to Christ! It was so great. The kids had so much energy and I loved getting to know each and every one of them as much or as little as I did!
I promised the kids that if they could get 15 names on my attendance sheet they could soak me with water balloons and if they got 20 names I would allow them to pie me with whip cream! Well we had a total of 16 kids on the attendance which was great! So during the craft time I ran around town trying to find water balloons! I was finally successful but alas when I got back to the Church I could not for the life of me figure out the water balloon pump worked. I was so disappointed… The kids had worked so hard to bring friends and I knew how excited they were to soak me. Backup plan was red solo cups. The kids still had a blast dumping their cups on me so I am glad there was still a chance to give them that sense of enjoyment!
I had a great time hanging out with my billets. Because I am such a city kid they made sure to give me the whole farm experience. I drove on dirt roads (dry and quite muddy) which was fun, I rode in a gator and we rode through sand hills, went to a bullarama which i essentially a night of watching bull riding. And i was able to just hangout with their kids and enjoy watching movies and receiving wonderful drawn pictures each morning when I woke up!
I am excited for the week ahead, but miss all the weeks that have already passed.
