VBS

We had a good VBS with an average attendance of 33 and total enrollment of 59. It was a lot of work! The van really helped us out a lot (except for the fact that there is no key to lock the doors and kids kept getting in it and blowing the horn during VBS while we were "trying" to teach.) AND a couple of days Jordan felt like he was playing "All around the little white church the pastor chased the kiddies!" Some of them would not listen at all and kept running out of the church and then banging on and kicking the door.

The last night at the end of service, Jordan & I were both busy watching the prize boxes and Misty & Laura were outside distributing snacks. We try to be very careful about our stuff not getting stolen. Jordan is pretty sure he put our camera behind the altar when he came up front. Well, after the kids were all outside playing games, I discovered our camera was nowhere to be found :( Laura, Misty and I searched everywhere several times. Then, I went out and told Jordan. We were pretty sure we knew who it was. 3 older boys had come in late and the teenage boy was one of the only ones missing outside. Laura and Misty said he also didn't come through the snack line and he had been know to steal in the past. Anyhow, to make a long story short, we went through the whole moping thing, but kept praying to get it back. Jordan made a poster and hung it in the Post Office and told several kids there would be a cash reward. Sunday morning the two other boys brought it back to Jordan and said they found it and that the boy who took it didn't know they retrieved it! What an answer to prayer!
