Overload!

Kaléo Ministry:

This week, it was our time to lead the youth group. Katie, Ellie and I decided to make it 70’s night! So I threw on some sandals, tie-dye shirt, rolled up jeans, bandana over Ellie’s hippie wig, and headed out with Katie and Ellie, looking ridiculously 70’s. We played, four on a couch, hot potato, which quickly degraded into hot half potato as the potato got smashed into one of the chairs and was dropped on the floor. After, we headed over to Macdonald’s for ice cream and then back to the church for some sardines.

Oh did I mention that this was the night that we had four new kids? Yeah they think we’re all weirdos. I don’t blame ‘em. But they didn’t really know much about youth groups or Christianity at all, so it was cool to explain to them about some stuff. Like the baptismal tank, which they thought was a hot tub.

We also got interviewed at church during service about the Olympics. It was a good time of sharing, and tied perfectly in with the sermon that day. It was especially fun to see the old timers get excited about it, and what we did at the Olympics.

Kaléo Life:

Gospels. That’s the only word you really need to know about this week. I did make it to a record three breakfasts this past week. We were in class from 9-12:30 with a different break system, which I found great, and then from 1:30-5 or 5:15. Every day for five days. This was an intense class, with a ridiculous prof. He had a Greek Bible, and read from it to us in English. Crazy! When we weren’t in class gorging out on way too much information, we were trying to digest all of it.
The last thing about Gospels was the exam which we had today, 2,009 words in two hours. It was quite the exam, and quite the study prep.

Lastly, and most tragically, on Monday we did not have gym night! It was a travesty. But it’s ok, because I did enough mental activity to make up for the lack of physical activity.
