<\/center><\/p>\nI’ve been helping Resurreccion<\/a> with VBS this week. Here are the highlights!<\/p>\n <\/a>— 1 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Being able to be useful.<\/strong> I’m one of the few native Californians that doesn’t speak Spanish (I understand it but can’t speak it) and there was already a church youth group doing the program so I offered to just be an extra set of hands whenever I was able this week. This meant washing dishes for Christ. \ud83d\ude42 They needed someone to do the breakfast dishes so I jumped to it. I may or may not have flooded the kitchen (twice) on Tuesday but I figured stuff out so that I was able to do all of it on my own on Wednesday. I’m bummed that I woke up with a migraine this morning and didn’t get to help. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n <\/a>— 2 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Learning how to play Uno in Spanish.<\/strong> The church doing the program had math board games and card games for the kids and that included Uno. Most of the kids knew how to play it but one little girl didn’t… and didn’t understand a lot of English. I learned (and in a few cases reinforced) my colors in Spanish and learned the word for “zero” in order to explain what card she needed to play. (Like most kids who grew up watching Sesame Street, I did know how to count to ten.)<\/p>\n <\/a>— 3 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Doing the “Penguin Song” with some of the kiddos.<\/strong> Because it is *ALWAYS* appropriate to sing at VBS!<\/p>\n
