We just completed our second day of Vacation Bible School at Trinity. I was drafted to be leader of the "Lion Tamers" group of kids ranging in age from about 1st to 5th grades. Aaron and Daniel are in my group (Aaron cheated). It started a day earlier than I had anticipated (Sunday), but it's been taking off well ever since. We go from learning station to learning station watching a video, doing crafts, singing, outdoor games on the grass next to the church, bible study, and then closing. The kids have all been enjoying themselves there and I'm getting to know some more names of people at Trinity, most significantly the Onkka family (Phillip, son of David Onkka, is in my group) and the Joppru's who are apparently cousins with the Joppru family that has the butcher shop in town. Kristi Joppru is one of the leaders. Mrs. Joppru previously had Charlie, our old terrier mutt on the farm.
We had goulash for dinner tonight at the church before VBS and apparently the older ladies in the kitchen personally designated the leftovers to "The Hustads" per Kristi Grochow so now we have a half gallon of it in the fridge for lunches... We seem to have more than one guardian angel at Trinity, it would appear.
Dusty was over here on Saturday night and now we have a good week of freedom. He and his family are heading to Duluth this weekend for a few days too. Kevin just left after his week-long visit. I'll try to check back in towards the end of the week and let you all know how bible school wrapped up.
Take care everyone.
About Me
- Aaron, Daniel, and Jim
- We live in a small rural northwestern MN town of about 8,500. We can either be found at home playing outside (weather permitting) or else involved in various activities at church or in between. We share quarters with an 8-1/2-year-old yellow lab named "Duchess," and three rabbits named Sidney, Rocky, and Thumper. No more guinea pigs!!!
