Well to start off, I should probably apologize for blogging less than I should. Of course you have all these other wonderful blogs to read so I’m sure no one missed me all that much. So for those of you who don’t know I didn’t know who my billet would be until I had started driving, and I got a little turned around (I still hold to the fact that GPS’s are dumb, give me maps and signs any day) and ended up arriving later than expected. But honestly, there could not have been a better billet for me. This family is similar to my own in ways that I can’t even describe. While it’s comforting it’s also lonely because as much as they fit me in, I still miss my family.This week has been great so far. Each day I go from a small club to my nice big VBS.

My first club is rather small so keeping the energy up there is pretty tough. For the first three days it was only the hostess’s children at the club which was kind of discouraging, but as everyone knows God answers prayer, and lo and behold today there was another little boy (who really wants a button so he is planning on bringing friends tomorrow!) This really boosted my spirit and I was again amazed at all that God can do.

The second club is a VBS, so it is a tad larger with 24 kiddos. This club is so much fun, and God has to be the one working here because I know I do not have that much energy in me normally. All these kids are precious and I love them all dearly. Learning names proved a challenge until the end of the second day. (I still mess up.) These kids love learning verses and doing their lessons. We have a challenge to see who can be louder saying the verses from memory every day and they absolutely love that. So far it’s 7-6 for the girls. We did have to cut the VBS short yesterday due to weather conditions, but we managed to fit in the Bible story so all was well. All the kids are excited to find out what happens to The Little Rascal though. I also found today that I had forgotten to introduce myself to these kids; I am now Miss Jen apparently.

So far this has been an awesome week. Thank you for your prayer, God bless.

Sincerely, cordially, affectionately,

Miss Jen
