Our mission project for this day was a Vacation Bible School for around 200 village children of all ages. The Avalanche Ranch curriculum used in 2007 in many United Methodist Churches in our area was shared with the children of Meru. Jodi Nelson and her daugher Jaclyn brought their cowboy boots and hats for the occasion. Several stations were set up for the children to rotate to. Kevin Stoner, who is from Lincoln, and I had a puppet show station. We also let the children play with the puppets and sang songs with them. Snacks and lunch were served to the kids. Donations that were made went towards the food and craft materials. We also handed out Prayer Bears or little teddy bears to the children.
