chrisc saturdays

as another connection from sarahs trip over here a couple years ago, we spend our saturday afternoons working with chrisc for a leadership program for the street kids who hang out at their office. chrisc stands for christian sports contact, and sarah worked with them a lot last time. her friend joseph runs a lot of stuff in nairobi for them and has set us up with matthew and lynn to run this saturday program.

a couple weeks ago i had told matthew that i would bring a couple baseball gloves and we would play catch, and i finally remembered today. it was really fun, and funny playing catch with him, and then with alex (an incredibly bright and good kid who is always at the center). nobody knew how to put on the baseball glove, which makes sense if youve never seen one before, but funny none the less. it was good to throw a ball for the first time in ages

today was the third time we did a lesson, and by far the most fun. we talked about teamwork today, and had a lot of games to go along with the lesson. we played a teamwork land mine game, and tried to throw a ball back and forth between sheets(it required teamwork). we did trust falls (but i didnt go, nobody thought they could catch me),

the games were a ton of fun to play, and everybody got involved- sarah, me, matthew, and lynn. we took some pictures, but missed out on a ton of other good ones when we left the camera inside during the land mine game where one person is blindfolded and has to listen to his team to know where to go.

also, sarah and i managed to be complete twinkies today, from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet. and somehow neither of us noticed until just after we left the house.
