“Prayer is for the helpless.”
-O. Hallesby
Dear praying friends,
With all of the smacking, pinching, wiggling, talking, interrupting and running around, I thought it might be a good idea to divide our 35 kids in the Frente Popular club into smaller classes. So we split ourselves into 4 different classes. Our daughters, Rachel and Megan, each take a class of littlies up through 3rd grade. Their pa (that would be me) also takes a class of little ones with a few of the more rambunctious included. There is something about being 3 or 4 ft. taller than they are that helps them sit in their chairs betterJ. . . at least for most of them. Barb now takes a group of the older ones, 4th and up by herself.
A funny thing happened after that. We had about 15 more kids show up! It seems that since the older ones felt that they had a class more geared to them they thought it was worth it for them to come. So now we’re averaging 45 to 50 kids. That caused us to go looking for more help. And we found it in one of the Jr. High kids from church. Abraham has been coming out with us now for a couple of weeks and I am seriously tempted to give him his own class so we can keep each one a little smaller.
