We started the day with the girls going to Venetia's house for devotions and the ladies going to Elaine's for devotions. After that, we went to the High Kirk hall to start getting ready for Kid's Club (which is VBS). The theme for the day was from nothing to something which was all about creation. We were all assigned a group of kids to help with. We sang songs, made crafts, had a puppet show, played games, and watched a video about creation. After kid's club, we went to Ardeer (another church in Stevenston) and started setting up for the American night. Mrs. Soost and Mrs. Sorrell made cupcakes, brownies, and cookies while the rest of us decorated the hall. Later, we headed to the YWAM base in Seamill. We toured their house (which was basically a castle...) and learned about their program and mission. After that we went back to Ardeer hall to finish setting up for the American youth night (pictures to come!!). There were about thirty kids who came in all. We had A LOT of American junk food and played "minute to win it" games. After we were done with the games Katie and Colby shared their testimonies. We also gave out the gospel bracelets with the colourful beads and explained to the kids what they meant. We had extra bracelets that we are able to give out to the kids in Kid's Club today. At the end of the day we all went back to the house where the Soost's and I are staying and had some prayer time and talked about things we liked most about the day. I (Maddy) really enjoyed the American night. It was great to get to know the kids (they are all SUPER friendly) and just liked talking to them and asking them questions. It was encouraging to me that they were also asking questions back, it wasn't just me asking them questions. I (Caroline) enjoyed helping at kid's club and being able to talk with the kids and interact with them in a smaller group.
