Day two, Tuesday....

Today was another great day for the kids. They started the morning off with the second day of VBS. Before we started VBS we were told the kids would probably be wild, crazy and we would probably have to break up a few fights. Day one was nothing like that, day two a little different story. By our estimates the group grew from approximately 50 kids to approximately 100 kids. The group today was a little crazier than yesterday’s group. They had to break up a few small fights and arguments. The younger group leaders learned if they kept the kids active with little down time the class would go smoother. Over all it was another great day at VBS and the kids did a great job.

After another great PB&J sandwich and fresh pineapple slices we went to the infirmary for another great day with residences. We broke-up into three groups so we could start our tasks. One group moved all the beds and residents out of one section of the men's ward so it could be power washed and cleaned. The task was very challenging because several of the men were bed ridden and the kids had to help them out of their beds and place them into wheel chairs. Several of the residents had not taken a bath in several days and most were wearing diapers. The kids did not complain once. The second group placed another coat of primer on the exterior wall of the men’s ward. The third group provided juice and Ensure to all the residents.

Today’s pictures will have the VBS group of Michelle Schaecher, Josh Snyder, Josh Allen, Arron Sharp, Rachel Snyder and Taylor Swanek.
