VBS Day Three

Last night during dinner this Christian Choir came down and sang a few songs at the pool. Later before the World Cup finale, there was a dance troupe that performed a few numbers, even pulling Lauren and Bekah up for one of the dances. I think Judy got a picture of that – my camera was in my room. After they finished they pulled out their Africraft to see if any of us wanted souvenirs. It was funny – this one woman was negotiating, trying to get this carved animal for 600 shillings (about $7.50), and was having a hard time getting the seller to agree to that price. After she bought her animal, the seller started bringing his stuff over to our table, and because we weren’t buying, the animal he just sold at a hard 600 shilling bargain, his opening offer was 500 shillings. Lots of folks watched the world cup game out by the pool.

I understand there was some bombings in Kampala, Uganda during the world cup game last night. One of our team members will be going to Uganda with the Wicks after the conference, but not to Kampala. Pray for the safety of the UTB members from Uganda, the Wicks and Sarah, but know that the Wicks and Sarah won’t be in the capital city of Uganda.

Day three went smoothly. Today’s lesson was on shielding your heart. Following the morning session, we closed up with some songs as we were waiting for the parents.

Because adults were in session this afternoon, we had 18 kids that wanted to go to the pool for afternoon recreation time. They love the water. Tim does too – it gives him lots to moan about –games the younger kids like playing like dunk Tim.
