There are somedays when I really miss Ethiopia. Where it's almost like being homesick. I have that feeling today. Because of that I figured I'd just give a small little update. We decided on our stories this year. They are David and Goliath, Noah's ark, Daniel and the Lion's den, Abraham and Isaac, Hannah, and Joseph and the coat of colors. We already have some really exciting ideas for crafts for most of these; as well as a few applications. I need to get on Pinterest and get a couple more ideas but I think we are off to a really great start on all this. We have a few people interested in going but we definately need more! That's the area we are really struggling with right now. We just pray we can find a few more volunteers. If you're even just slightly interested talk to any of us. We really want to get people to go this year. The money is actually easier than expected to come up with and Woodland Oaks is willing to help out. It's such an incredible experience and worth more than anything to get to teach those kids about God and His glory. We were so blessed with how things worked out last year, and we know God will continue to bless this work this year as well.
BTW...If you'd like to read my journal from my trip last year, let me know. It doesn't have all our experiences as it was impossible to write them all down, but it will tell some stories I didn't tell and I think expresses just how amazing the VBS was. I only have two people who have said they're interested so PLEASE "order" one so this story can continue. They're totally free and less than 20 pages of reading. So get one!! :)
