Sorry for not staying in touch so much.... There is one building in town(10 miles away) that has wifi and now is the only time we've had to get to it.
We have had a very busy schedule including hiking Hadley Hill, swimming in the Sacandaga Lake, rock climbing, and of course preparing for and putting on their vacation bible school.
Monday was a great day. The kids that came were very excited to be there and they loved every minute of it. The second day, the number of kids rose to 26. Around here that is a great number. In fact that is the most kids Thurman Baptist has ever had at VBS! This made us very excited for day three...
Wednesday we taught the kids about Paul and Silas and they loved the story. Three kids accepted Jesus as their Savior that night and we could not have been happier.
Pastor Bob Herman has expressed so many times that he is very grateful that we are here. He is thankful for you allowing your teens to take time out of their summers to come help him and his ministry.
Thank you again for your prayers and support. This trip could not be a success without it.
