Nuclear War Bombs and Glitter

ATTENTION: WE HAVE LEFT WHIGHAM

we no longer live in a trailer on a cow pasture.

as we embark on our short break we can recall the past 3 weeks that has been Crossfire 2010 thus far.

Most recently, Whigham, GA. We led a VBS and youth group at night.
It was kind of difficult because a lot of their youth group was out of town so we only had about 8 or 9 kids per night. We tried to just speak the truth of the gospel to them and then break into small groups for a more comfortable conversation atmosphere. The last night one of the girls really heard God speak to her so it was really encouraging to leave on that note!

The kids destroyed the arts and craft room. Whigham UMC will never be without at least one little speck of glitter for the rest of it's existence. We had them make puppets, name tags, and tshirts and they put glitter on absolutely everything...we should probably apologize to the parents for that. ha.

Yesterday, we got to rent out the local theater in Cairo (about 8 miles from Whigham) and watched The Princess and the Frog with the little kids. They loved it. ....and candy and popcorn and soda they got...It really made me want beignets. ahhhh yum.

Well Dagum, We.love.you.
This youth group really gave us so much encouragement in what we're doing this summer. I think this is a place we all can say we really connected with at least one kid on a deeper level. ah, we just miss you so much.

Kolomoki
Blakely, GA. You gave us more bug/spider bites than I could have thought would be possible to live through. But somehow we've managed. We saw things really change for kids there and it was a perfect way to start off our summer. This is also where Kyle got stalked on an hourly basis by my cabin of 9-11 year old girls.


Whigham quotes-

"I'm just thinkin'...'bout nuclear war bombs..just one would blow up all of grady county"- Ian..5th grade
"How am I supposed to be good people if I'm just yellin' at my mama all day?" - 6 yr old Madison
"WELL THAT'S JUST WHAT THEY CALLED 'EM IN THE BIBLE" -John David (the most ridiculous child I've ever met in my life)...referring to "ass" as in a donkey...as the conversation went from talking about the gospel to if the Bible had any cuss words.....
