Well, as you will be able to tell, something is missing tonight. That something is my camera!!
It was left at Grace Baptist (where we do our VBS)
So I will give you a little overview, and hopefully get all caught up with photos tomorrow night.
Yesterday and today had very similar looks to them, with a few twists...
Both days involved canvassing/surveying in the morning and VBS in the afternoon/evening.
Canvassing included survey work, which is a face-to-face question and answer time which is centered around a religious survey, and is designed to ask some questions which might open up the door to a follow-up visit from a local Pastor (in this case, Paul Fulks or Lloyd Larkin). The door-to-door team also would ask if they could present a tract and centering on our beliefs. The tract we, and the whole HEBRON used, was the Brdge to Eternal Life tract.
No one home? Leave literature. Someone home? Well, the possibilities are endless. From no, to no thanks, to "Can I convert you?", to lets talk so I can defend my beliefs for half an hour, to (most importantly) interest!
In two days, our team has had 13 interested in followup, and, many opportunities to go through the Bridge tract. The stories are ENDLESS! There is definitely a stirring in the souls of many hear in the SLC valley.
VBS numbers are slowly creeping up, which is good, considering this church has not had a VBS in three years. Their people have enjoyed watching us work. Pray we finish strong tomorrow.
Tomorrow, we lose Mandy (she has to leave early for a wedding) pray for her flights, and pray that we can adjust, our teams canvassing numbers are now all off, and we will miss Mandy's care and smile for all the kids at VBS.
WE MISS YOU MANDY!
Oh yes, we have been up into the mountains once as a group, and once as a smaller AM devo group (apparently getting up @ 5am scared some away). It was a lot of fun, and we got a lot of great photos. Both times, we had a great time in the Word and in prayer.
WHEW! Well, that's all for now.
Be back tomorrow night with more, and some photos!!

We're so excited to hear how God is working in the hearts of the people in the SLC area -- and in the hearts of our teens. Thank you for going with them on these unique STEM trips, and for showing them the myriad of ways we can serve our Savior and support our local churches. We will be praying for strength, unity, encouragement, and even more "follow-up" opportunities. We miss you, but we're thrilled you're there!
