Fireworks and Fireflies


Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing. Psalm 100: 1-2

We have done so much stuff this week. We left New York and went to Gettysburg and now we are in Massachusetts. In Gettysburg we got to spend time helping the Wega family with the Christian Commission. The Wegas were awesome, they really were a great example of being servants of the Lord.
Every night (except Sunday), John and Susan have a church service in a camp that resembles one that would have been during the Civil war. We would help them by passing out tracts and giving out information about the USCC, all while in civil war costumes.
I think everyone one the team would agree that the most fun we had was when we all got to go to the dance on the field with the reenactors. We learned the dances they would have done during that time and got to dance together and meet new people. It was so fun to get dressed up and spend time dancing with each other, with the fireworks and fireflies in the background. Its kinda like having a little glimps of what heaven will be like, when we all get to sing and dance together in the glory of God.
