Thursday and Friday

On Thursday, I went with Brian, Mike, and Jason to Oleivenhoutbosh to visit with a woman who volunteers there when she's not working as a youth pastor at her church. We had a meeting with her and got some dates on the calendar for me to come and help out with some youth events in the community. I found this time really helpful because she shared some different ways that she had used to reach youth in the community and i shared some of my ideas. it was good to gain a greater understanding of what works and what doesn't work and to be able to share some of my own ideas. From that meeting, we headed back home and on the way we picked up the new car. It's a silver Polo and we're happy to have enough vehicles to go in three different directions now (at least until we lose the ability to rent one of them in a month). After picking up the car, we headed home and i worked on putting some of the ideas we had discussed together with some of the ideas i had already been working out in my head. it was a productive day and i enjoyed getting a lot done. then, in the evening, we were planning to play Risk, but that fell through, which really disappointed me. I've been wanting to play again since we played the first week we were here, but so far, no luck. maybe tomorrow...
On Friday, i was tentatively/possibly planning to go to a youth rally, but i never heard back about that, so it didn't end up happening. my contact there was actually one of Molly's friends from YWAM that she hadn't seen since they were together in Perth, Australia. So that was kind of a crazy connection, but things didn't end up working out, but i do have a good many more youth events that i'm planning to attend, so it's not a devestating loss.
it's 6 now and still no mention of Risk tonight...
