Today we taught Sunday school as we do on Sunday mornings. We really miss having the other girls from our group and Christy to do this, as I am not good at thinking up crafts for them to do. But all was good, we just did a coloring sheet. Today we did the story of Paul and Silas in Prison, Jesus' baptism and temptation, and the story of how God provided food and water for the Israelites in the desert. It was fun. We are trying to do more unfamiliar stories for them, but we are running out of stories that they don't know that are in the children's bible. Last week we wrote the story of Deborah down in children's terms, so we might have to do more of those soon.
Then, after church, we came back and Aaron worked on his well drill. Please pray for him to find a way to do this, because he has been having trouble getting the weld to stick. I sung songs and played games with the children because I really don't know anything about welding. Then we went to the park and played duck duck goose around this garden of flowers with a lot of onlookers nearby. Some people asked if we could take pictures with their children...which was funny...and weird. Some of the children that were in the park joined our game. It was a really fun day.

hey guys... it sounds like you are doing some great work and i hope that you can continue to. My prayers are with the both you and your work. I truely miss being over there and being with the kids and Ricky's family. During Sunday worship in Stillwater we sang "God is so Good" it made me so sad and i REALLY was missing the kids and singing that song with them. Singing with the kids was definately one of my favorite things from the trip. It was weird not singing it in Telugu though. haha. I think it is awesom that you guys are trying to come up with some different stories for the children that they have never heard before. If you need help coming up with lessons or stories just let me know i would still like to help out in anyway possible even if i am long distance. I'm working up at the church and i think i would have some time to do some work on children stories but just let me know. I miss you guys and I miss India (even the food-- haha). Keep up the good work and stay healthy.

aw...we miss you too. I'll let you know if we need help. Next week we are telling the story of Josiah and then we are all going to make crowns that they can decorate and wear.
