It is so good to have a day off after the weeks activities. Sunday morning we visited the Anglican Church where they were kind in having us stay for lunch afterwards. Then we all settled in for an afternoon of relaxing and catching up on laundry before heading breaking off into groups for evening church services. Some went to the McMurray Gospel Assembly while a couple others, including myself, returned to the Fellowship Baptist. It may not be that exciting, but it was fun day to hang out with people and relax for a bit.
Yesterday was a slower day with regards to youth coming in. No one showed up until almost 4:00. Last night we were all cleaning our suites like crazy because all this week is res inspections. If we don't pass- which is highly unlikely - our suite receives a fine. We also had our first chance to work on drama. I started teaching a few people The Rock, which is a powerful mime. It was so much fun to be doing drama again and I can't wait for it all to come together. I walked to the school boards with Kayla yesterday afternoon to drop off calendars for the Dugout. I hope kids take them home and show their parents so they can come to all our events this summer. That's all for now. To everyone who's reading - have an awesome summer.
I’ve now been here for just over a week, and yesterday was a good day.
Communication in the team is improving significantly, at least from my perspective!
In addition, we began to go out into the streets of Fort Mac in pairs, to meet the teenagers and invite them back to the Dugout. Jen and I went out yesterday, for about an hour, from roughly 2:30 to 3:30, and went to the Alberta Provincial Building, where we met a number of youth, some of whom we already had contact with. We also went to the Peter Pond Mall, and met a couple there, returned to the Provincial Building and made some more contacts, and then returned to the Dugout.
We also officially began our daily participation in the Soup Kitchen, hosted by the Fellowship Baptist Church. Once I get more information about the Food Wagon – a Salvation Army ministry – we will also be participating in that.
