Leonora Bush Mission Trip Day 5 

The morning began, once again, with the melodic sounds of loud snoring, sleep talking and singing of all different tunes. The competition to get to the showers began as we all rose from our sleepy state. The showers were warm and relaxing whilst full of bugs, moths and spiders. The boys (aka Nelly Noo and Joshy Lou) continued to scare each other with the air horn they had found in the toilets. All the while, arguments continued about whether hilo milk or full cream milk was the best. Also, resorting to having to eat cereal instead of the fabled two minute noodles. Before we left, our fellow team members Gwen, Olivia and Luritha presented to us a devotion from Psalm 19 (Not 119). We then left to go to the Rec Centre.

We arrived at the Rec Centre and began our set up. The kids rushed in and began tracing their feet onto pieces of paper that were then stuck to the wall. This event was followed by Sir Random Finds and Barefoot talking about the theme of the day (and carbon footprints) followed by Rowell and Jadon performing the usual songs. 

In the Littlies corner we made beautiful mask that consisted of pompoms, glue flitter and beautiful teachers. We also made flame crowns where the kids dod not limit themselves to the flitter glue. <-- Sorry for those sentences, Jean wrote it and she is very tired from being with the kids. We also made chariots and egg cups in the older kids art group... It was very eggsausting. We then had morning tea followed by more fun and games while the kids got a little bit crazier. It was pizza for lunch which was delicious. We packed up and played some basketball then went back home (our accommodation). A quick rest was followed by the afternoon session where the young ones painted their faces and the older kids played on the oval. 

At night we had a beautiful dinner consisting of left over meat pie and spaghetti bolognese which was made by Michael’s mum (thank you, it was delicious). That was then followed by parents night which was lots of fun with the kids. Their parents even got involved with the singing and games as we concluded the evening and had snacks. This was then followed by pack up and more basketball. And Jean got a 3 pointer!

The night is now coming to an end as we all relax and get ready for tomorrow.

Signing off, Joshy Lou and Leonora Covero :)
