Great Day!

I will post some pictures soon but I just wanted to share about the great day that I had today. Our school has a group of 14 students who are called 'prefects.' These students are sort of like the student leadership at the church. Today was the training day for this group and we had it at my house. It was just one of those great days. The kids behaved really well and were really involved in the activities. I did a bible study on the story of Shadrach, Meshack and Abindigo. The point was that these men did what was right, not what everyone else is doing. I encouraged the kids to make the right choices at school as leaders instead of beating the other kids, leaving the classes and abusing their privelges. They listened well and I was super stoked about that. They did a lesson that taught them about their personalities and their strenghts and weaknessess. The kids really enjoyed that as well. I had to sit though and explain the meaning of the 56 personality traits. That was exhausting! The kids did some games that were for team building and they did a great job with that. They were stoked because they got a ton of food to eat and of course getting a chance to watch tv. They were also really excited to be coming to my house. It was just great to see them happy and relaxed. One of the new teachers at the school really seems to enjoy the kids and she was here with me. We hung out with the kids and even danced with the girls. I was so happy to see another teacher treating the kids nicely. After they all left some of the youth girls came over and we had pancakes for dinner and watched the old version of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." There was nothing super wonderful about the day but it was really good and reminded me that a lot of what we do as christians is love on people, build relationships with them and show them who Christ is. It doesn't always require words.
