I really enjoyed myself at youth last night! (which is a big deal for me!)
We played heaps of water games. We had water balloons, and sponge races, and all these fun games, and since we had an uneven number I had to join one of the teams.
I usually dont like to get involved and just help out wherever needed, but Im really glad that I did. I had so much fun with the kids, I was screaming like a little girl and running around giggling all night.
We ended up having a bit of a water bomb fight at the end of the night, in which I believe I won as I managed to get Russell and Petey without them getting me back!! (I had a secret hiding place).
All the credit has to go to my man, russell, he came up with the games and it was a fantastic night. I spoke about the thirst our souls have, and that things like drinking, sex, and other religions are just imitations of the real thing. They are like a soft drink or a soda water, they only quench the thirst for a short while, but nothing compares to the real deal.
I had so much fun that I told all the girls that next week we would handmake invitations and invite all our girly friends for a sleepover. I then woke up this morning and thought "what have I done!!" It should be fun though.....
On Valentines Day at youth, Russell put together a whole heap of games for the guys. Above is Odette getting ready to pick out her team mates by being blindfolded and spun around with the bow and arrow. Whoever she hit with the arrow was on her team.
"Dont shoot, dont shoot!"
Jenny then got to pick her team mates.
Pete getting ready for the wheelbarrow race. Teams had to race up to a bunch of roses, pick up 1 stem in their mouth, and then race back.
And the races begin!
Mitch trying to pick up a stem
Russell coded the messages that were attached to the rose stems with numbers. We took the guys mobiles off them and told them they had to figure out what letter corresponded with what number. The hidden message was "It is better to have loved and lost, than to not love at all".
