We’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon since we arrived. Each time we asked how many kids we’d have at VBS, the number changed. We came planning for 32. Then we were told 130, then 150, then 120, then 180. Cynthia heard 230. We ended up today with 300! Our team of 6 working with VBS suddenly had 10 times the number of children! They made it through with great attitudes.
Cliff’s Bible story today was about Noah and how God protected him. He asked what God protects them from. Their answers: disease, kidnappers, and evil men. Its quite a different list from what our children might say.
The medical clinic had a very smooth day, with somewhat ordinary cases through most of the day. Of course the most serious cases came at the end of the day as Lee helped a 5 year old with pneumonia and Richard a young woman with a serious infection on her face. Please pray for these children as they return for additional treatment tomorrow.
I’m so proud of our team. With lost bags (finally found this morning) and massive changes in plans, they’ve done great!

Hooray for clean clothes in the lost-but-now-found bags!
