Refugee kids

So on Tuesday I signed up to help out with the refugee kids that come to visit our school on Tuesdays. I signed up to help out every third week so I will still be able to get my work done and helping out with little kids won't hinder the learning process! It was definitely a lot of fun! I got to go with the leaders to pick up the refugee kids and it was so neat! It's a small little community that they live in and they all live close together. When we went to get them, they were making dinner and it smelled really good! The school is in the center of everything and really colorful!! It was cute, when we pulled up, all the kids ran to the cars and vans we came in. They were so excited to see us. They were sooo cute and sooo excited it was really neat to see them all run up to the leaders and give them hugs hold their hands. The youngest little one in the group was three. When we got back to school, we sang songs with them in German, Barbel read them a German devotional, and then I stayed and made crafts with some of the girls while other went and played basketball and soccer. The oldest was probably around 8...and the oldest one spoke just a little bit of english so it was really difficult for me to bond with them. Hopefully after we keep hanging out with them, they will get to know my personality better. If ya'll could keep those little guys in your prayers that would be great, I saw their living situations and some adults that live there and it really made me nervous and really sad. Also, pray for their hearts that God would touch them and that they would come to know Christ. They are the cutest little kids though, I just wish I could talk to them more! Please also pray that God would be able to use me to minister to the kids even though I don't speak German.


Hmmm as for all the other updates, I'm still sick and sing team practice was interesting because I didn't sound to good and my group is kind of unproductive. The leader wants to be the leader but then doesn't always lead...and starts playing other songs on his guitar and then gets frustrated at all the other guys for playing other songs when we are supposed to be working on our worship songs...lol...just frustrating sometimes...anyway, if you could also pray for that as well...just that God would use us to reach others...our first outreach is coming up and if you could just pray for the people that we'll be singing too, that would be great!! Thanks so much!!


I love ya'll!!!


Love in Christ,
