We are home

I am sorry for not writing the last couple of days it was a very busy couple of days. We were at the youth retreat which went very well and many af the kids grew closer to God because of it. We held the retreat at a beautiful ranch that had a large pool which the kids loved the problem was the pool was 4 1/2 foot deep so for these kids who don't know how to swim it was over their heads, so we would carry them on our backs back and forth in the pool, some people tried to teach them to swim and it was fun. We built a cross with them and talked about Jesus sacrifice which was effective. All in all the retreat was a success. The night we got back the foundation ladies took us out on a chivas bus which was an old bus that was turned into a double decker. some of us were on top and some were in the bus. When we first started driving around town, we stopped and hired a band to play music in the bus for us so for the next hour we had live music on a home made double decker bus. As we drove around town the driver would intentionally drive under low branches, and make the people on top duck. The next day was Sunday and we went out to one Maru's ranch (she is one of the ladies)and had a relaxing day and eating alot, a whole lot of food. Then Monday was the last day at EnJambre we went and had VBS which went very well (all of this years VBS was well done) and we ended it by talking about how Jesus wants to be a part of their lives to all the children and and many adults. We pray that what we did effects their lives as much as the effect ours. It is amazing to me how much you can love people that you just met for one week, but when you take the opportunity to love someone you will be blessed by that. I am always amazed that no matter what great plans we make the most important and effective tool in ministry is showing Gods love. I think we all feel blessed to be a part of what God did on this trip and what he will continue to do because a small town in Kansas is faithful to do his work.
God Bless,
