Hello everyone! Here is a slideshow with the highlights of July 2015 to June 2016. Enjoy!

pictures from VBS (not at Jina)

9/3/2015

Several weeks ago Adora and I went to do a VBS with a team from Virginia and Maryland in two villages named Nocrich and Ghijasa-de-Jos. In Nocrich we had between 20-30 kids and in Ghijasa we had around 10 (it is a village with about 90 people). If it didn't rain there would have been more kids at Nocrich.
We usually started with games (like musical chairs), then singing. After that we had a skit (we did Ahaz, Hezekiah and Esther - the story was read and during that we acted it out), then did a craft (the kids made a crown the first day, and each day they came they added a jewel on it). We gave them snacks on their way out.

On January 24th we went to fill up the water bottles again. We fill them up from a spring in the mountains.

Below are some pictures I took at the spring:
All but the fifth one are of the sun rising over a mountain. The third and fourth ones are my favorites. The fifth picture is actually just the road with the sun shining on it.

We also went to get water on March 28 and it was raining so I only took 2 pictures:

2015 is here!
For New Year's Adora and I went to the youth group's New Year's party. We had food and games and firecrackers. It was extremely cold, getting down to -25 C (-13 F)! It hasn't got this low here in 53 years!

It snowed over a foot on the 29th and 30th. Pics:
