Friday 20th, the students were all gearing up for Christmas celebrations. We made stockings that will be used to store the gifts that the students bought for each other. They had a chance of going on a shopping trip to buy stuff for themselves and also for their friends in MITS. Darlene had lots of activities like crafts planned to put us all in the right spirit.
In the afternoon we also had a chance of going out to the community to clean up and collect trash laying around. This gesture was so inspiring, community members urged us on. We were all in blue t-shirts just to distinguish ourselves from the rest of the community. During the weekend, the Coulstons invited the team for an early Christmas dinner at their house. We sang Christmas carols around the fire, eating pop corn and roast maize. Sharing of how blessed we are to have children that we love and love God in our ministry. We went ahead and started counting our blessings, starting with each other. Plus we shared some stories of snakes and the difference experiences the team has had with the reptile.
Soccer tournaments are also underway, Kamulu tournament commences on the 26th of November till the 27th. There will be a total of 12 teams that will be competing for a prize. The Eastleigh tournament will start on the 7th of December, this will go on for 3 days. On the last day a part will be held in honor of the teams that played and the street youths.
Friends Sunday is also coming up in the calendar this coming week. The idea is to have a common meal together and have all the contribution given to the most needy person in the church.
Peace and happy thanksgiving.
