VBS DAY 3 - God Uses Me

Today we another great day with good attendance (81 kids) and a great message to share about us uses us.  Already the kids have become very attached to us, and us to them.  They have been asking how long we can stay or if they can go home with us.  Even though storms were forecast for the week, God has held those storms off until after VBS each day.  Today there were torrential rains that started as we were getting ready to leave the school.   The Southend kids enjoyed surfing Saskatchewan style in the very large yard puddles.  We are amazed at the opportunities we have had to connect with other members of the community and are trying to reach as many people as we can while we are here.
