A very full day!

Wow – I just don’t really know what to say about that day – today!  So much happened, it was kind of like a week all packed into a day!

Well, maybe it’s not worth it to go into too much detail.  The kids’ club went well today, as usual.  The children are learning a lot about the Gospel, about Jesus, about the Bible.

Trying bannock at the English Class

I was looking forward to hanging out at the club today, but we discovered that we were out of gas at home and Shari had baking to do in preparation for the big baking class tomorrow.  Our second tank was defective, so I went out to find somewhere to fill the gas – and that led to a stop by the police and other adventures I won’t get into (don’t worry, the police let me go… apparently I hadn’t done anything wrong.  I guess they just wanted to chat…)

In the afternoon the team did a lot of cleaning and construction-related stuff.  (Our word "construction" loosely means anything related to screws, wood, paint and metal – we’re doing a lot of small projects).

The English class this afternoon was a smash-hit – packed out with people from the church and the community.  The team played some games, taught some geography and even made bannock.

After the class we went out for tacos (YUM), and then they team went to do some more socializing (which, without doubt, is a very important reason why they’re here!).

Shari, Hannah and Nathanael were on their way to join us for tacos when Nathanael fell splat onto the pavement.  He had quite a goose egg, and we went to the doctor as a precaution.  But the doctor felt he was fine, and he’s doing well now.  Although I admit he looks a little worse for wear.

So that’s a quick summary of our day – here are a few pictures.  By the way, eventually I’ll upload some high definition pictures into our photo gallery.  Time being limited, I’m just throwing up a few previews here.

Dave plays hopscotch – with all his might!

Parachute game!

I guess it was a bit of a Dave-centric day for pictures – but here’s Dave again, showing everyone a Canadian coin at the English class.
