Wednesday - Pre-School FUN DAY!

Hello hello everyone! It’s Lindsey! This week has been absolutely AMAZING! I couldn’t be more blessed to have this opportunity to be back at the Robin’s Nest with the kids I’ve already made relationships with last year. Today was a special day for the preschool age kids here; it was “Fun Day!” After breakfast, the big day began! There were three different groups of kids who rotated throughout three different stations: games, crafts, and pool time. Watching the kids play together, learn how to make puppets, and seeing them splash around in the pool are memories I will always remember. Their smiles, laughter, and maybe a few tears every now and then made my heart so happy. After lunch, the kids split up in age groups of 3,4, and 5 year olds and had an Easter Egg Hunt around the playground. The kids soon found out that the eggs held something rare and special to them “Sweets” (candy.) The hunt was a perfect ending to such a fun filled day. God is placing so many different emotions into my heart, it feels like a tornado is just flying around constantly. My heart is breaking for the pain that these kids have gone through and with every other emotion, my heart is still trying to figure out what else God is trying to tell me and show me through every little thing that happens each day. My mom once told me “In every situation, both good or bad, look for what God is trying to show you. And when you capture that lesson, give praise to the one who deserves it.” Those words are dear to my heart that are helping me get through this week. I am so excited to see what else God has planned for me to do while I am down here! Though, the trip is coming to an end in a few days, I am ready to be obedient to whatever He throws my way. Please pray the kids will open their hearts to what we have planned for them in their VBS for the next two days. Please pray for strength and patience for my team and I as we continue to let God’s light shine through our words and actions to the kids, staff members and any other person God places in our path. Thank you so much! With Love, Lindsey.

Hello Everyone! Its abbey. Its is only Wednesday, and God has moved so much throughout the week. His love and spirit has shown up all throughout the trip and I couldn’t be happier to be apart of the experience. Today we held “Fun Day”  We had multiple events such as swimming, puppet making,  some outdoor activities, and even an  Easter egg hunt. It was great to see the kids celebrating Easter , and worshipping God! As the week goes on the kids start to open up, I get to meet new people, laugh and play with kids, and love on the precious babies. As I sit here now, with a baby in my lap, smiling a big smile , I am reminded of Gods  undying love for us, how he smiles on each and everyone. Thank you all for the prayers, and letters, it is so encouraging! Cant wait to tell stories of this amazing trip. Love to all of you!! -Abbey
