Brooke #3!

Today was our last day of vacation bible school. The kids definitley wore us all out but we are going to miss them very much. My favorite was Ariana.. she was the most beautiful little girl i have ever seen.. and we have 500 pictures of her between all the staff.

I learned alot this week, especially it being the first time i have ever taught primary. It was an ajustment trying to get the kids to learn but they all did very well and we had alot of fun this week! its all about planting the seed and God will do the rest. i was very surprised how much the young kids did know about bible stories. but we had alot of fun and i think the rest of the crew would agree.

So this morning there was a 40 degree difference in the temperature.. and all our team got a good idea to go swimming this morning.. needless to say they didnt last too long. Then Danielle blew the fuse from her hair dryer in the cabin... AGAIN.
but Were all still really getting along very well, last nights youth group was challenging but i think it was an eye opener to me because you could really see the results of kids with such bad home life situations. It felt really rewarding to be able to make a difference, and to be able to give attention to kids who dont get very much at home.

So after our vbs the sponsors got a good idea to go the beach again to play volleyball... which is our favorite thing to do.. its pretty much a routine now. But i was so cold so me paco jill molly and matt just played in the sand the whole time.
dinner was very good.. we got 2 desserts to split between me sara jenna and molly and they were huge.. so we gave the boys one.. and we downed ours in 2 minutes no lie.. it was amazing!
Then we stopped at a water fall and jared fell off.... i know.. how surprising.. and he wiped out jenna on his way down who clung on to me which resulted in my hollister capris getting covered in mudd.. wich wasnt as bad as jared because he was completely covered. molly laughed for 5 minutes strait then when jared got out of the water he fell again.. and by that time i think all of us had to go to the bathroom. needless to say.. we are having alot of fun
and i cant wait to go to macinaw island tomorrow to go bike riding and look at pretty butterflys with molly and sara!

please pray for our safety coming home and thank you all for keeping us in your prayers!
