Day 8

I have uploaded almost all of Brittany's pictures at the time of this writing but I have no idea what kind of progress James has made. Hopefully we will be able to get some more videos rolling soon.

Day 8: We started our day off normally until we were notified that we had to move all our stuff from the rooms we were sleeping in, into the gym where all the UGBC men are. So we did that and went on our way to breakfast. A man from UGBC, I believe, was driving our van and we have to pass by the school where we are doing our services. When we got past the school, a cop comes out and pulls us over. Apparently he was doing 49 in a 35, but the cop let him off with a warning because we had contacted the police department before hand in order to get approval on what everyone was doing. The weirdest thing is, we drove 3,000 miles across the country to get pulled over in the city we were staying in. So another day has gone by where something crazy has happened to a van. We made it to breakfast and after everyone had pretty much finished, a group of UGBC men started make fun of the strong men last night by putting on their own show. I wish someone would have tapped it because it was pretty good. They were doing the same things as the men but on a much, much smaller scale. Post breakfast, we went and did a few worship songs then VBS was sent out. We didn't have that many people in the park today as before, but a few of the kids from last time showed up, which was cool. Apparently there was a sign on the back of my shirt all day that said "Kick Me," because that's all a few of the boys AND girls did when they were around me. We did crafts, puppets and face painting again and had chili willies. At least, from what I was around, 2 people decided to make Jesus their Lord and Savior at the park. We went and had lunch and started round two in the park, which was similar to the first. Nothing really worth mentioning happened for a while. At the night service we had a cookout for students and a praise band to lead the youth in some songs. When Sterling Griggs started speaking, the smaller children came outside and we had a miniature vbs for them, with crafts, puppet show and games. We finished the night in McDonalds and now I'm back at church waiting on the next day. My memory might have failed me about today since its late and I'm tired, but this is about all I can think of.

Tomorrow, we are doing our Sunday services at the church we are helping then the plan is to do lunch then split into two groups. One group is going to be doing follow up for anyone that either seemed interested in the Gospel or made a salvation decision and the other group will be doing a mega-relay type thing with the children/youth there. After that we will be heading over to Mt. Rainier for a time of devotional and probably some free time if Hauser doesn't get too long winded.

Peace out,
