We arrived up in Ovoca Manor on the first of August, the day after CSSM ended and got to know the team. There was only like 20 of us which was a big contrast to the 52 people sized team yokie-ma bob (im tired) at CSSM. I (Gina) was put in the 4-5s group and Chrisi was with 6-9s! Stephen Stone was leading my group and Billy Stone was leading Chrisi's. We didn't get to see each other all that much because we were in different age groups but Family Week was such a laugh.
We were staying in the long attic with all the girl leaders and there was loadsa funny sleep talking like my "CRAP, CRAP, CRAP" or Lydia's "Nooo mum, please just stop!!!!"
There were 10 kids in the 4-5s group and they were such craic! We played a lot of duck, duck, goose and watched a lot of Veggie Tales. The theme of Family Week was Christmas, so we were teaching the kids the story of Jesus' birth. They listened really well and really seemed to enjoy the week. The whole idea behind the Christmas theme was just remembering that although Christ died to save us, he lived to give us purpose and example.
Everyone gelled really well on the team and we were hanging out with the Teens a lot too. On the Monday night, Wednesday night and Friday night there was a worship session for an hour called Soul Down. That time was just really serious and intimate which was really cool and God was really present there!
We had the afternoons free so we did different things each day. A few of us went to the BridgeWater Shopping Centre one day and another day everyone went to Avondale. Chrisi and I stayed in to watch a dvd one afternoon just to spend time together which was lovely, apart from the fact that the dvd was a bit crap..."Licence to Wed" ?
We had a great time at Family Week 3 and I know i definetly want to go back next year as a leader again.
We're just at Cavan at the moment but i'm going to go home tomorrow for the rest of the week. I'm just feeling tired and unwell so i'm going to rest but Chris will catch you up with all the sceal.
RAW is next week and we're super excited for that! First summer RAW ever, going to be immense!!!!
Anyways, keeeep reading.... the internship is nearly coming to an end :(
Lotsa love always,
The Girls, xx
