Well its been several months since I've posted an update on here! Time really does fly... its not that I've forgot about our blog, or that we've had a lack of escapades at all. So here are several updates to make up for my lack of posting =)
*ASI*
Last month we were very privileged to work with an amazing team in the youth meetings. Our family was teaching in the Junior department, and we had an incredible group of kids. We went to bless, and in giving, we ourselves were filled with many blessings. It was an inspiring week, and one we won't soon forget!
Our theme in the Junior Class was, "Living for Jesus, Mind, Body, and Spirit" and we strove to encourage the children to surrender everything to Jesus, and to live entirely for Him.
There was a health expo that we had put together for children. There were 8 stations, one on each of the 8 laws of health, and at each station someone would talk a little on the particular law of heath, and then there were fun activities for the children to participate in.
Our mission project was knitting hats for children in Mongolia. The temperatures there often go town to -30, and the Juniors at ASI were thrilled to make hats to help the kids in Mongolia. We had thought that perhaps the boys in our class wouldn't really enjoy kitting, but everyone, including the boys simply loved it!
Many many inspiring speakers came to speak to the Juniors, including Abraham Lincoln. Opps, I mean Uncle Dan from Your Story Hour. His inspiring and character building stories captivated the childrens attention and encouraged them to wholeheartedly Live For Jesus.
On Friday the Juniors all took a trip to the Orlando Zoo, where a treasure hunt ensued. We had a fantastic group of kids, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with them!
This year, we were also working with a fabulous group in the Youth Department. God richly blessed!!
