This has been a really busy week. Hope you all enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend.
First of all I made my first quesadilla :-D
It had black beans, eggs, onions, cheese and sweetcorn in it - yes it was yummy!
On Friday we had a Back to the Future themed party for the youth at church to mark the start of the new school term. It was really fun and everyone dressed up in 50's, 80's or futuristic costume.
We ate, sang and danced - it was an excellent way to chill with and get to know the kids at the church.
Unfortunately, as the night ended we were given the news that one of the students from Eastern Hills (the school I told you about last week) had committed suicide. It was a real reminder of what we are really here to do this year and all the young people that are in need.
Please pray that God will give my whole team the wisdom to say the rights things at the right time and be a blessing to all the young people we come into contact with. Thanks.
Okay so the best part of this week has been Basketball Church!!! This guy called Mr Ralph had a vision over 20 years ago to see lots of young people playing basketball together with no racial divides. So for the past 20 years (since 1994) Mr Ralph and his wife and Sue has been holding basketball church every Friday night.
It's for all high school students and its starts off with 4-on-4 half court matches. Then after about an hour they break and Ms Sue serves dinner. Then they have a 20 minute bible study and it's back to the court for more basketball. It was amazing and I loved it!!
That's it for this week folks!
It's labour (whoops labor) day on Monday so I get a long weekend too :-D
Have a great week!
Love!
Tess
