Every year I do VBS I forget how worn out I get. It's always fun though, especially this year. I get to be in charge of games. I've managed not to get overheated or dehydrated so far. I just find myself saying everyday, "I'm so glad it only goes until noon."
Most of the kids that come to the vbs are missionary kids and a few are embassy kids. It's been fun getting to know them and talking to different parents. I also work with the youth group (since most of their parents "volunteered" them to help). Overall it's been a fun week. A lot of wet games. I almost felt like I was getting sick when I walked from being outside in the very hot sun to the super air-conditioned room. It's the first time I've had to work a jacket this whole trip!
Once VBS was finished yesterday, we ran over to the SIL center. The guys were going fishing and Annieo and her friend were getting their hair braided (which took a LONG time). I think they still have headaches. I FINALLY managed to get everything done in the Educational Resource Center. I'd started about 3 weeks ago adding more books and then trying to figure out where to put them in the library. It was a bigger job then I thought and I quickly figured out why no one really wanted to do it.
After shelving and reshelving and moving around books to multiple shelves I finally got it looking half way decent. I'll be happy if I never have to work with the dewy decimal system or see a dusty book again. At least I get to leave it looking nice and put together and don't have to be here and watch it get all unorganized again!
I ended up catching a taxi with my friend Marinna and finally made it home through the ridiculous traffic (once again I found myself wishing I had a moped). When I got home and took a shower it was only eight o'clock and I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open and walking straight. I ended up skipping dinner and going to bed early. Didn't wake up this morning until 8 am. I feel great NOW!
