Well go figure, I got time for another post.
The heat has finally broke! Praise God for that. We found out that on Tuesday a place called Morehead MN was offically 134 degrees with the heat index and "the hottest place on Earth." Here in the cities the highest I have heard is 119 but it was the hottest day ever on record for the cities. The high 80's to 90's feels like heaven.
Because the heat broke we were able to have our first night of VBS and it went really well. We had one of our students pray with a kid to receive Christ! Numerous students were able to share their faith with kids. Our students taught the lessons and did REALLY well. I was really pleased even if some of them were insecure. It was awesome! The VBS actually ended up being really smooth and there were some good connections made. From our perspective, it would have really been awesome to do this all 4 days like we did last night, but apparently God has a better idea and experience has taught me that His ways are better.
We did take some down time yesterday and go to the Science Museum. Some of us elected to see the King Tut exhibit. It was truly fascinating to see how much time and energy the Egyptians used to put into their preparation for the afterlife. I can't help but evaluate my own time and energy for the same topic. I have no intention of being beat out by pagans.
Below are some pics of our work and play.
