A Week in the King's City: Thursday

We awoke and got ready for our final day of VBS. We had a blast on the car ride over, rocking out to Maddie's CD she created. The day started and we went through the schedule again with a few tweaks because we were sharing the gospel. We split into groups so I paired with Corinne to talk to a few of the preschoolers. We reread them gospel story and tried to ask them if any of them had already asked Jesus into their heart but they didn't have a long enough attention span. However, Corinne prayed with a little girl who is actually my buddy's sister and I prayed with my buddy even though I'm not sure she got what we were doing. The final minutes of play with the kids came and it didn't seem like they quite got that we were leaving. Anyways, we got our final pictures with our kids and they left. Off to the park we went and I went back to the lanyard table again and actually made a few lanyards of my own to give to kids I really connected with. About an hour into our time there, my little buddy and her sister showed up their mom so I gave her a lanyard as well as teaching her sister how to make them. I got to play on the playground with her and then it was time for her to go so we gave lots of hugs and she left. I went to say goodbye to this girl, who my brother met his first year and continued to hang out with the next three years, even though I didn't get to know her very well and it was cool because I got to tell her about I had been hearing about her for six years. Eventually we had to leave and we went back to camp after a stop for popsicles. We went to the cross a few times that night and had our last chapel and played a lot of speed. After so much fun it was hard to go to bed before our last day.
