Day five

And on the fifth day... it's Sabrina's birthdayyy! We sang at breakfast, it was cool. :) And Wickford, action day! Three Churches within a couple of hours, that's gotta be a record for me. St Andrews was where I woke up, we ate at Christchurch, and then we had our meetings and small groups at New Life. Some of us headed out towards the travelling community, we went off in our minibuses and spent some time with the people there. We talked to them, did some work litter-picking along the road, and we took the gear so some of us played football with the children, painted their faces, braided their hair, and they all seemed to love it. We promoted the family fun day, invited them all to come along, check it out, and we got pretty positive responses. We also went to the Memorial Park, where we'll be running tomorrow's fun day, and took the equipment again, painted some faces and braided some hair, just kinda bonded with the local people a bit. Most people could remember last year's fun day, in coordinance with Hope 08, and they were looking forward to it, which was great. We had almost a practice fun day, and everything seemed to run smoothly, it was great! :) Tons of people said they're gonna be coming along tomorrow, so we're looking forward to that. We ate back at Christchurch, and I ate so much I swear I was about to explode! There was so much food, it was great! :) We then headed back to Memorial Park, and prayed, sang, and prayer walked the site, and people got words about people they were going to meet tomorrow, people to look out for, and just words of encouragement. It was all pretty cool. Some enterainment back at Christchurch, movies and stuff, then it's back here to St Andrews to sleep, and sleep is always good. Gotta be ready to wake up early tomorrow! :) x
