Days 2-3
Yesterday was really busy for us --- up early so we can eat breakfast, then an hour drive (mostly in and around the mountains) to go to church. The church we are having VBS at, Upper Fork Methodist Church, was kind enough to provide a covered lunch for all of us after the service! I even got a chance to stand in front of the congregation and tell them where we were from and what we were there for. After the lunch, some of us set up the site for the week, and others went and drove the route - which was even more curvy and windy than the main roads! We finished soon enough to get back to play some baseball, and then it was off to Middlesboro to eat and make a Wal-Mart run! The day was finished up at Sonic ...
And, then the alarm clock rang at 5.45 am for me to start our week of VBS! Pretty soon, most of the group was up and down in the cafeteria for a bite to eat before leaving the campus at 7.15 am. The first day of VBS went well - we had 14 kids from the community come! There were some 'technical' difficulties, but we can quickly clear those up! Thankfully, our set up is pretty quick - so, after the kids leaving and eating lunch, we were able to get back to our rooms by 2.30 - and it was off to the baseball field for more baseball and football games (and, for some of, some sunburning!). Dinner was on the grounds - some kind of BBQ - and now we are getting ready to attend our evening meeting - and hopefully get some much needed rest!
