The day began with rain. It rained all day! But word is getting around that the VBS is FUN and more kids came. We expect an even larger group today as we finish the VBS and Pastor Tabor commissions our new army of disciples.
The team has worked well together on the VBS and did a great job keeping everything and everyone moving. The VBS'ers has such short attention spans and huge needs for attention that is almost has to feel like one-on-one to them at times. This is certainly experience they will remember when our team has families of their own (yes, I am grinning too!).
Right after VBS, we tackled some service projects. With all the day-to-day tasks that the Tabor's and the Jacobson's tend too, some things get put off for another day. One of the "another day" projects we took on was clean up under the Tabor house carport. We cleaned hundreds of donated pop bottles and moved then to a storage closet in the happy shack. We also removed trash and put away other items that made it hard to walk under the carport. The team knocked out the job in about 45 minutes and begged for more to do. They went from the carport to the heat of an unventilated new building that will become the Happy Store. The store will be like a "thrift" store for the community. The kids will also be able to earn HappyBucks by serving around the church, learning memory verses, or attending on Sunday that can be spent on items in the store.
Finally the day ended with a trip to a local ice cream parlor. Everyone is excited to see what the final day of VBS brings.
More at the end of today! Keep praying for God to do great things through the HP2009 team.
Your Brother on Mission,
Todd
