Last week was half-term for most of the schools that we work in, so we had a holiday club on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at St. James, which was just like a VBS. There was a good group of kids there and we all had a lot of fun singing songs, playing games, doing fun crafts, and learning Bible stories. I think the kids really enjoyed it and learned a lot, too, which is the most important thing :)

This week we're back to doing assemblies on the Ten Commandments, and this time we are combining two of them--don't lie and don't steal. We're just covering the whole "dishonesty" lesson :)
In the skit, we have our own version of "The X Factor!" (The British version of "American Idol"--although The X Factor was first.) Josh Edwards and Josh Jacobs are the judges, and Drew pays Josh Edwards money before we perform to ensure that he wins. He then proceeds to put on the worst act of juggling you could ever see! (Sorry Drew!) I then come out and play a number on my flute. Then we have round two--gymnastics!! Drew tries to do a cartwheel but doesn't really succeed at it, and I do a perfect one :) And Josh Edwards goes on and on about how Drew was better and then informs us that Drew was the winner. It was really funny, and the kids laughed a lot, which is always a good sign! :)

I've been praying a lot since I posted my last blog about where God wants me next year, and I've reached a decision--I am for sure going to be at the University of Arkansas in the fall. I feel like everything I was talking about in my last blog was just a test from God to see if I would be willing to give everything up for him. Tests like that aren't fun, but I grew a lot and that's what matters!

If all of you could be praying for our assemblies and lunch clubs/after school clubs and the youth club this week, that would be fantastic! We only have a few months left to make a lasting impression on these awesome kids and we want to give God the room to work in and through us in any way He chooses to. Also, I've been ill for the past week and would really, really like to get to feeling better soon because I'm tired of feeling lousy! Thank you for all of your prayers and support--it means the world to me! God bless!
