Since we have arrived, we have had every night booked with the evangelistic meetings going on. Every night we tried to help out as much as we could. Most nights that involved singing for the adult meeting and helping control the kids in the children's program, which was no easy task once the attendance reached 150 children. The adult meetings were doing well in attendance as well and the people were really enjoying the health lectures as well as the sermons. They enjoyed learning simple ways to keep their family healthy.
LeAnne and I did our best to help keep the kids quiet and listening during the children's program...but being a distraction is kinda what we did best. Not intentionally, of course. I blame our white skin and long noses. Most times whenever we showed up we had a group of 20 or more kids surround wherever we sat. So many tickle-fights and "What is your name?"'s going around. But we always made sure to help them learn their bible verses at the end of the night so they could receive a prize. Afterwards we would play games. It is kind of amazing, a lot of the games they would play were variations of games we played growing up. This made it easy for LeAnne to be talked into playing, no matter what the game was!

| There they are! |
Though going to meetings every night was tiring, we still had a lot of fun. The kids never ending energy made us feel so old, and their ability to learn and recite verses was just as inspiring! It was exciting to see all the kids again, and have them remember me! At the end of the day, I just pray that these kids will remember the stories they've heard about a loving Creator who wants to take them Home!
"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."
~Proverbs 22:6
