SO proud!

Adysen and Allie have started a program at the base chapel called Awanas. It's a program that is sort of similar to girl scouts, but the focus is on memorization of biblical concepts - mostly scripture. Last year, they started but got frustrated quickly by the memorization they had to do in the beginning. In order to pass the first "step" and get their vests and books, they had to learn the Awana motto, Awana plege, US pledge, Awana song and John 3:16. They had to know these word for word with no help and the leaders were really strict, allowing no help at all. They tried it for a few weeks and then lost interest. This year, they wanted to try again and Adysen caome home tonight with the biggest smile on her face because she made it the first week this time!!! Allie knew hers also, but she faked a sickness today and came home from school, so she didn't get to go tonight. I hope she passes next week.
