Puppetry

This fall Abby joined GEMS on Wednesday night and she is LOVING it!!  She goes from 6:30-8:00pm and it's her favorite day of the week.  She was nervous to start and didn't want me to leave her because she didn't know anyone.  I encouraged her to join in and reassured her that I would be back for her at 8pm.  With hesitation she joined, but only because I asked her to give it a try.  When I got there at 8pm, she was THRILLED!  I don't think I've seen her smile so big before!  She was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement!  She got a GEMS shirt, a scarf, a badge book and the best thing of all....a jean bag of her very own.  She couldn't wait to go back to the next week.  I'm loving that she's learning so much about our God and His intense love for her!

One of the fun things about GEMS is that Abby will get to earn badges.  Her nana is helping her with the badges and they decided to do the puppetry badge for her very first one.  She finished them this morning and even created a play with the puppets that goes along with her memory verse.  It was so cute!  I absolutely love how she's loving learning about our God!
