Well the past week has been great and eventful!
Our Big A club is in full swing.
On June 21, we had pajama day! It was so much fun!
On June 22, we had mummy wrap day, my cool caterpillars got to wrap me up with toilet paper, so I looked like a mummy.
One June 28, we took about 60 kids ages 3 to 6 to the fire department! It was so much fun! I love how the kids are so excited about learning about safety. They got to tour the fire house, ambulance where they got to listen to their heartbeat with a stethoscope, and they got to squirt the fire hose then go into the fire truck.
On June 29, we had carnival day inside because it was raining! Only the 2nd time in 30 years that it’s been inside! It went GREAT! The kids had so much fun!
One June 30, we had magic bubbles day and the kids just love soap haha! They had more fun than any other time! I love how bubbles can put a huge smile on their face.
One July 1, we took the kids 3 years old to 6 years old to Kids Zone. Yes we loaded up about 60 kids in car seats and booster seats and took them on a field trip. The place they go had a play area like a jungle gym and then a theme. This year was the ocean so there was a big pretend submarine, sand table and slide thing. And fish! The kids love this place and it’s educational and encourages imaginative play.
So that wraps up last week’s Big A club.
Things God did this week:
I got to talk with a parent about spiritual matters. I was telling the mom how her daughter is so cute when she prays. The little girl kneels on her knees and lays her head down all the way on the ground and prays. I told the mom that right after I got done inviting her to church which she kindly said thank you. And after the story about the little girl praying, the mom said, oh she is praying to Mecca like we do at home. That made my heart plummet to know that God specifically placed this family on my heart. I thought they were closer to understanding than they are. It shows you never know till you talk to someone about Christ. She quickly rounded up her kids and said bye. I hope that wasn’t my last conversation with her. I pray God gives me more divine appointments. I pray He also softens these parent’s hearts and that the kids will know the truth. The kids are going into 1st grade and Kindergarten. Please pray for this family and others in Tahoe, that they will come to know Christ.
I was teaching the kindergarten class one day and I was telling them how one day they would understand what it means to become a Christian. So, I got to share some of the gospel with them. Planting seeds. We also got to talk about why we study the Bible and why it is important.
I love the things God is allowing me to do. Just loving on kids shows them that God loves them and He wants to know them. It’s the small things that occur now that make a big impact in the future even if it is a musical or a Bible Story activity or a craft that got them there. It doesn’t matter how they get the message it matters that they get it and receive salvation through Jesus Christ at some point in their life when they understand. I love the opportunities God gives us each day!
Things I have heard kids say or seen kids do:
It got cold here last week and I asked Seth, “Who made is cold again?” He pointed to the sky and said “He did.” I said, “Who?” and he said “Miss Kacey, God did!”
I was teaching the busy bees class and we were about to read our Bible story. I asked, “Who remembers what our Bible story is for this week?” Well Sienna raised he thumb and I called on her. She said, “The 10 PIGS!” I said, “What did you say?” She said, “You know the 10 PIGS story with the frogs, bugs, river of blood…” I said “I thing you mean the 10 PLAGUES.” She said, “OH YEAH, THAT’S IT!”
While we were at the fire station touring the bunk house, Logan asked the fireman, “Do you have sleepovers?”
Also while we were at the fire station we toured the TV room. It has a great view of Lake Tahoe so all the kids ran over to that. Well there are also giant recliners in there and a kindergartener, Rory, hopped in one and kicked back and reclined. It was too funny!
We also saw a bear cub at the park on commons beach! It ran behind the kids off in the distance! They were eating lunch and looking at the lake and never knew what we happening. But the little bear cub was just running down the bike path.
As you can see is has been a great week! I know God has even more in store! I cannot wait for what else He has planned! I am so excited. Pray for opportunities to share Christ with the people of Tahoe. Pray for their hearts to be opened. Pray that they will come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior. Thank you for your many prayers. Pray for our team to finish strong and to keep going!
Love,
Kacey.
