Crazy Crafts and No Gas

Sunday

Morning: I arrived at church at about 7:20 am (I had to get up so early, because the church is about 30 minutes away, and I didn't get to sleep Saturday night until past midnight because we were helping at SVET all night.

The craft went well. When I was asked if I was ready for everything before class started, I said no, I  had no idea (except for craft). Thankfully she (the main leader) said she would do the welcoming, rule teaching, offering/offering song, and an additional song for me, and I only had to do the craft - That was a HUGE relief.   The craft was David and Goliath pipe cleaners that would pop up when you pull a sting. The kids din't have to do any of that though, they just had to basically color. It took me over 5 hours to get all 20 of these pre-made, plus Daniel helped for a lot of it. Some of the work was done Friday after SLI, some was Saturday during SVET and the rest was done before church on Sunday.

Evening: After Twenty20 (read the next post to hear about twenty20), on the drive home, I figured that even though I had very little gas, that I could make it home and back into the gas station the next day. Plus all the gas stations on our way home were closed (most gas stations aren't 24/7 like they are in the US.  Anyways, we were several km away from home and I run out of fuel. It was dark and Leah wasn't answering her phone, so we decide we would try to push the car the rest of the way home. Pushing the care was actually kind of fun, thank goodness Echo's are light! But we still had several big hills to deal with up ahead and I started having trouble breathing (asthma). So we stopped for a bit, as we were stopping Leah happened to drive by and after talking to her, she went back and brought us some fuel from home.
