Wednesday Blog from Kate and Mari!!!

Hey everyone!
Sorry this blog was not up last night, we were having so much fun! So yesterday we woke up at the usual early 6:00 am and did our morning routine of getting dressed, eating breakfast, making lunches, and having devotion time. Then we went to our work sites (the groups had been mixed up a bit for later activities). Anyway, the two of us (Kate and Mari) went to the home of a man named Charlie. We tore down ceilings, painted on a special primer that kills and keeps out the mold, and pulled out hundreds of screws and nails from the rafters (that was us). THose of us at Charlie's home left the site at 3 pm. We came back, showered, and ate an early dinner so that we could go to a program called Xtreme Wednesdays. Xtreme Wednesdays is an event at one of Celebration Church's buildings where kids that are entering first grade through sixth grade come for about an hour and a half. It;s like a youth group for younger kids. Our job was to be the leaders and help make the program go smoothly. Last night was "Splish Splash- Shark Attack" and featured some fun water games. Our first job was to fill up water balloons. Once the program started we played a game, sang "Baby Shark" (which we had the pleasure of going up front to lead), listened to a message about the "baby sharks" that follow us around in our own lives, and went outside to play water games such as water ball toss and duck, duck, shark (when youu say shark you must break a water balloon over the sharks head! Heehee!). It turned into a big water fight. We all were SOAKED! All of us felt that we really connected with the kids and had a blast! As we ended a lightning storm rolled in and we were able to watch amazing light show. Thankfully it was not raining. That is what we (Kate and Mari) enjoyed on this wonderful Wednesday! And now you can hear another version of Wednesday from Dave! Yay Dave!
Love,
Kate Dilworth and Mari Arstein
