Day Three.
I have to apologize for not posting this last night. We didn’t
finish family time until about midnight, so I was wiped. We had a few fun
things happen to share.
For one thing, VBS Day one was a blast. High energy. We had
22 kids and 17 helpers from Riggins. Today, those numbers went up to 42 and 19
respectively. Josh Talley in particular did a great job with the youngest group
of kids, and he said that when he woke up for VBS he was thinking, “eh… vbs
yeah… whatever” but by the end of the day he didn’t want it to end.
For dinner we went to the Tucker’s house and Audrey, Pamela
Tucker’s granddaughter, was there eating dinner with us. She is a VBS attender.
She’s about 6. The consensus was that she was hilariously adorable. Benjamin
Salmon said that she was walking around with a broom “putting people in jail”
and “shooting people.” There was so much authority in such a little person.
At the field for the first time, we had 22 teens. It’s
really incredible to see what’s been happening here in the last year. Sarah and
Mark Christensen are helping out at Salmon River Community Church with the
youth, and they have a functioning youth group now. Megan described it as “half
the high-school” and she’s not far off. It’s truly humbling to see what God has
done over the eight years of coming to Riggins.
Please pray for energy levels, and general group cohesion.
We’re doing well, but we don’t want to loose steam.
I should have a more detailed report tonight after the rec night.
