Last week was VBS at our church and it was the smoothest one yet. But that doesn’t change that it felt like the week was filled with mania! I was responsible for the Mission Moments each day for the children. This year the boys raised money for the persecuted church and the girls for New Day Foster Home in Beijing. Then on Wednesday I was responsible for teaching the children the Bible story. I was playing the storyteller Rahab from Joshua in the Old Testament. The kids in both lessons were very attentive and my costume was a little wild with lots of make-up because of her old job. I just told the kids that I used to be a “very bad woman” and went from there. They had lots of questions at the end of each lesson that were really good and showed me that they had been paying attention which was nice. Here’s the outfit:
Nadia was in the younger toddler room all week and did great, but it made for really long days for her. Then in the afternoon she had swim lessons. So on Friday Mike went to work late so that she could stay home, rest and have her nap at the normal time. Poor thing was just beat after all her activity, but so was I!

A’Jani and his little brother joined us at VBS each day, and on Thursday we all had lunch at Wendy’s.
And here are the other 2 videos I put together for New Day Foster Home. I used them for the mission moment and told New Day they can use them however they see fit.
