Today was our first full day of ministry on the island. This morning after breakfast we started out our day with devotions and worship music, then a team meeting. After that we prepared for our busy afternoon of vacation bible school for the kids.
We ran a normal vacation bible school with the kids for the first hour and a half. Music, lessons, snack, craft. After that was over, we put on a "carnival" for the kids. We had face painting, games, bracelet making, nail polish station, and water balloons. The kids loved painting our faces just as much as they loved getting their own faces painted.
After VBS was cleaned up, and before dinner, we celebrated 4 birthdays with cake. Afton, Erin, Katya, and Danielle. Molly made the cakes with the help of Jess. It was delicious!
This evening there was a women's bible study at the church, about 5 of our gals stayed at the church for that while we took two van fulls of our team, and some Moose Factory kids (who have been hanging out with us) to sight see on the island. Some of the places we visited were the "dump" where everyone takes their garbage (sometimes there are bears spotted here), to gigi's (the local "walmart"), the Ecolodge, and the docks to take some pictures of moose river.
Tomorrow will be an even more busy day. In the morning we have some construction projects to do, preperation for VBS, and tomorrow evening Cultural orientation from one of the Elders of the church.
