This year back in the US has been a pretty awesome plethora of "experiences"...one of the best...most favorite...growth enabling experiences we chose for the kids this year was to join an AWANA group.
They have been able to memorize more scripture than I have ever had them work on before and it's really gotten me thinking and planning on what we're going to work on together as a family next year overseas.
Sissi with her Sparkies teacher, Ms. Roxanne
She is a lovely lady that obviously cared for our girl and really put her full energies into helping her to excel. Sissi was able to complete one and a half books, even with all of our travel and time away!
Krypto with some of his friends.
The standard "silly faces"
Gwangi with a friend, who has also been on both of his baseball teams.
Another good friend, who is also a neighbor.
The kids had been saving their AWANA bucks and today was the last "store." Sissi got a glow in the dark spinner and was so excited to use it and show it to her friends. They also got pizza!
More spinning, and I like the look on her face.
Spinner is flying high!
Gwangi got a participation award. Again, with all of our travel, we have missed quite a few weeks, and even though this kid could memorize 3 and 4 verses a week, there just wasn't time in their Small Group meetings to get them all checked off.
Gwangi did have 100 AWANA bucks though, so he got a bouncy ball and a basketball game.
Krypto and one of his friends.
Krypto with his teacher, and receiving his book completion award. This boy worked so hard and is such a blessing to others. He spent most all of his AWANA bucks buying gifts for his Small Group members and for his brother and sister.
I am so proud of their hearts and their desire to hide His Word in them!
