Craft time - it was very interesting having crafts for 70 - 80 kids at a time!
Christopher organized all the games for VBS. Here, you see him singlehandedly take on a group of Ghanaian kids....who do you think will win???
Can you spot the yevus (non-African people) in this picture? There are three!!! If you are wondering why all the kids are laughing - it was tough at first trying to get them to smile for pictures. They loved to pose for the pictures, but they would just stand there with straight faces. We would try to tell them to smile, and we'd point to our teeth to indicate that we wanted them to smile and show their teeth. Nothing seemed to work, until we figured out that if we said, "ha ha ha," then all of them would immediately break into laughter and repeat, "ha ha ha" as we snapped our pictures full of smiling faces. They also loved to see the picture after you had taken it, and they would crowd around you and shriek with excitement at the sight of their faces. It was so much fun to see their reaction, I spent a while just taking pictures and showing it to the kids.
This little girl captured my attention one morning in church. She very gently cared for her little sister, sitting beside her with her arm wrapped around her.
The Ghanaian youth are singing a song that they learned at VBS during church time.
More happy faces!
