Kids Klub
June 09 2006
Hey guys,
this week we started kids klub (VBS) in the Triangle. Little did we
know that these kids are sweet but have behavior problems. They can
be very mean and don't really listen to us Americans because we don't
speak Polish or very little. This became a major obstacle, but one
the team was willing to try to overcome. The first day wasn't too
bad, but there were some minor changes we had to make because certain
things didn't work. This being said, we were told that these kids had
never behaved this well. We've all been pretty proud of ourselves.
My tribe (group) was the largest topping off at like 12 or maybe 13.
Amazing. They were very hard to handle sometimes but they really only
listened to the translators because we had no idea what they were
saying. Not too bad. I guess I'm just happy it really went off
without a hitch. tomorrow we will be traveling to Olawa (pronounced
Owava) to hang out with some kids and play games and stuff like that.
Starting on Monday, we will be teaching in the public schools here in
Wroclaw (pronounces Vroh-swafv), which should be interesting.
Please pray for me because I am not sleeping well. I am waking up
several times during the night and am not getting much rest. Although
I get so exhausted, I can't sleep which is causing my back to hurt and
for me to have a severe lack of energy. I'm not sure how to remedy
the problem but I'm hoping that in the days to come, it will be easier
to sleep. Please also continue to pray for my team and the
missionaries leading us.
