"We go to the beach in the summer!"
"We're going to the beach next week!"
"We went to the Outer Banks last year!"
"My mommy and daddy go to the bank!"
One of the parts of my job that I love is getting to tell people of all ages about my job. I've heard that if you're teaching, you generally have a kid's attention for their age +1. So, we looked at pictures from Bulgaria. We read the story of a man who had no friends (none!) until Jesus told him to climb down from a tree so they could hang out. We made a craft. We talked about how Jesus is a forever friend and how my job is to be a good friend so others can meet Jesus--the Best Friend. We danced. We colored. It was marvelous!
You never know how God will work. When I was growing up, it was so cool to have my own missionaries. I loved hearing their stories and learning about where they lived. Maybe someday God will call one of these kids to serve Him as a missionary!
