Yesterday’s blog got lost between the publish and delete buttons. 🙁 sorry!

Today’s will make up for it, hopefully. Yesterday we had our first full day with the kids, 3 hours in morning of a program, 3 hours In the afternoon of games, and an hour and a half in the evening of something else.

In the morning we introduced the theme properly, Jump for joy, and the topic, Paul and Philippi, and began bonding with the kids.

They’re very smart, and very capable. We also played many games, and Drew chatted to monkey again. (He’s not dead. His uncle, however, was ripped apart by a lion)

We went to the local park and the kids happily ran around for an hour in the baking sun while the rest of us struggled to move. One kid ran round a rugby pitch 6 times!

That evening after another glorious dinner we watched Shrek, and Drew gave a short talk that compared donkey to Jesus… I may need to listen more. Fun fact, Shrek was released before most of the kids were born. Feel old?

The other guys on team then got naked again.

This morning was more of the same as yesterday, with us discussing Philippians 2, and making Christmas decorations, as Paul mentions Jesus coming to earth, and we Thought we’d have a Christmas party this evening too. We played various games to Christmassy music, and had a short message from Drew.

This afternoon I slept. It was glorious.

Photo attachments on this device are awkward so here’s a bunch of photos from the last few days:

Dave – now confused about Christmas. It’s 30 degrees, the weather is far from frightful! Unless…You’re a snowman…. Hmmmm….
