Time is going too fast!!!

It's been a crazy, fun, busy, overwhelming, sometimes frustrating and yet awesome week here in Reedley. I promise to have a longer update soon. We were in process of posting yesterday but internet connection is unpredictable at best at our house (thanks "ward" wireless, whoever you are) and we lost it. There are some pictures below to give a little idea of what has been happening. Last week we had our first week of Summer Learning Experience at church with the Kid's and Conflict curriculum. We had 20-25 kids everyday with minimal staff, basically our group and 2-4 others. Let's just say we learned a lot about discipline and kids' attention spans during our daily 4 hour sessions with them. The evenings and this weekend were packed with fun activities, some of which can be seen in the pictures, others that we can hopefully describe soon. Yesterday was day one of the final week of Summer Learning Experience. It felt like a Monday, the kids were less then well behaved and the staff is now the 4 of us and Barbara. But through the frustrations we have really developed a love for these kids who we are becoming quite attached to. And the group keeps growing with 27 yesterday. The pouring out of love from the church is amazing. We have dinner invitations essentially every day until we leave and that day we leave is not one we are looking forward to....
