hey people!

the fact that your reading this makes me assume that you are interested in what i have to write about. like, for example, my life. either that or your bored out of your skull. doesn't really matter much to me, just as long as you read. so now i'll tell you more about this VBS thing we've been doing, which is, sadly, over now. ok so thursday, once again we performed at eeden, and walked forever to hand out fliers, and all that fun stuff. and then at 4:30 (16:30) when we started the kids program we had not 1, not 2, not 10, but 15 kids!! 15!! now to me thats awesomely exciting. we played games and had fun, and the theme was "taste the living water". so we had fun doing taste tests with the kids, giving them exotic foods and candys such as "reeses" and "marshmallows". which i wouldn't think exotic but were very exciting to the kids. and to my great surprise everyone thought that the reeses were nasty, which was extremely upseting to me becuase it meant some wasted reeses, i would have happily devoured the precious candy if they didn't want it (you can't get reeses in estonia, so to me and most other americans here it is a rare and treasured treat). we then had fun having my mom talk about what "living water" was and what it all was supposed to mean. and we did the "river dance" that sarah had been teaching us, becuase you know river, water, they kinda go together. and then we had fun roasting marshmallows, which was of course delicious.

then after all the kids went off home me and sarah had fun doing what i will call "american in estonia idol". which was fun, we started out with me singing some yellow card ("if i could find that cow......" sorry inside joke, hi sarah!) and sarah singing her stuff and it ended with us doing a duet of linkin park's song "numb:encore", which was fun. and then we printed out the words to the song "broken" by seether and learned that song becuase that was a guy-girl duet that both sounded cool and included amy lee as the female singer. so that was cool, and just to finish it all of we did a duet to that linkin park song that i can never remember the name of (you know the one "...but in the end it doesn't even matter..." "....i put my trust in you..." and so on and so on), which was awsomely fun.

then next day we had fun doing all the usual stuff, except today we did "riverdance" at eeden, which actually got us a bit of a crowd. so the fact that sarah and liis spiked my hair and tied red ribbons to my hands and around my head was ok, if not slightly humiliating. and then that night we had some kids come half an hour early, so we said "ok, it's only like 5 kids, they can come in and play" and next thing we knew, BAM 2o kids, we had to organize fast, but amid the chaos we had loads of fun. and in the middle of it all the wittenbergs showed up which was cool. so the theme for the night was "run the good race", so course we had relay races, and just race races, and so on and such. and we did riverdance for them and believe it or not they didn't laugh, they actually liked it! it was all fun, and then after all that we roasted marshmallows and had fun in the general chaos of it all (20 kids=chaos), and it was especially fun for me becuase as the only teenage guy all the boys thought it was thier sworn duty to destroy me, and i'm always up for a fight but with 10 year olds? i have now mastered the art of beating up someone without actually hurting them, or touching them really. so that was fun, especially with this once kid, andre, who kept tackling julia, one of the helpers from narva. so i had to defend her by tickling him to death whenever he'd jump on her. all in all a fun day.

so then after we finnaly got all the little brats home (i'm kidding, they were good kids), we all went inside and got everyone ready to go home, the mission team was leaving. except of course me becuase i lived there, and the narva girls, who go back to narva with us on sunday. but before everyone left me and sarah gave them a final perfomance, we sang that linkin park song with the name i can never remember, with me rapping most of it and her joining me on the chorus. and then we did our grand finale, seether "broken". the whole time everyone was laughing and taking pictures during both songs, though they were both rather depressing songs, the way me and sarah sang it it became funny. and then everyone went home and i had a chance to sit back relax and play on the computer, something i had needed for a long time.

and now it's saturday, i am officially declaring this RNR (rest 'n relaxation) day, god knows i need it. so now i say goodbye, for now. thanks for reading,

evryones favorite idiot, ;)
