Ok so lots to say from the last time I posted, but here is a quick rundown:
Friday - Worked hard in the morning and watched park in the afternoon. Friday night youth was guys and girls evening, so we split the genders up and the guys basically played a bunch of games that involved hurting each other. It was lots of fun, but during the last game some of the guys snuck outside and were throwing rocks at a pole over the church wall. Unfortunately there happened to be cars parked there and a rock damaged one of the guys cars. So ya, Dave and I have been dealing with that incident most of the weekend and since the mother can't pay the cost of the damage, the church will be paying and we will be making the kids do some kind of community service. Not a whole lot of fun, but it is all good experience that I am learning from.
Saturday - Woke up nice and late and went into a prayer time at church. Most of the church got together and it was great to spend an hour in prayer for what God is doing at the chapel. I then went down to the skatepark and was there for the afternoon. I had the great opportunity of falling off my skateboard with keys in my pocket, so i have a nice cut on my finger and a tear in my pants. Saturday night was Jamie's birthday party so we all hung out and watched some T20 cricket and Super 14 Rugby (go Sharks)
Sunday - Dave and I advertised for the BMX competition at the chapel next weekend with an impromto skit, it was below average, but I got to wear a pink helmet! Dave spoke in the youth and we are starting a new series on the life and teachings of Jesus, which i am really looking forward to! We had another soccer game and after being down 4-1 at the half, we came back to win it 5-4, and I got another 2 goals in a great team effort! Sunday night was the AGM at church, so we presented the youth side and people seemed really happy and supportive.
Monday - Day off, so Dave and I hung out at his place and wanted to do some filming for a youth video. After Dave left the camera at home though we decided to get lunch at Steers instead. In the afternoon I went with Allan and Nicky to UJ (University of Johannesburg) to watch a rugby match between UJ and some school from the Free State. The atmosphere was great and the stadium was pretty full, with UJ winning by 40 points!! Allan and I then hung out at his place for a bit, before I returned home to spend some time with the Forsyth boys.
