41 kids, 20 students, 14 pizzas, and one great game...

yesterday, our friends from the chuukese christian fellowship brought 41 kids to come spend time with college students. i stressed about the sign ups all week, worrying we wouldn't have enough college students to make the day fun for the kids, but we had a great group. we sang songs, played some really funny games, danced a bit, ate a ton of pizza, and decorated some sandles for each kid.

watching the kids make mummies out of the students with toilet paper was hillarious, but watching the kids dance singing "i got the love of Je-ee-sus, deep down in my heart" was most assuredly the highlight of the day for me. the kids were so gracious to us and to each other. a few kids didn't have shoes because they didn't sign up but came to the bus last minute yesterday. so a few of their friends gave them one of their shoes to decorate for them. it really was a great day. here are a few other highlights:

1. we had less than 10 lemonaide spills, making cleanup less terrible.

2. we all rolled with laughter while pibc students ran around with blindfolds trying to follow their teams directions.

3. "je-ee-sus, deep down in my heart"

4. the face of one of the kids who decided to taste his markers...

5. we got to see something we really believe God set into motion work better than it could have in our minds.
