Missions Trip to Quebec - 2008

Saturday, we spent most of the day working around the church, cleaning, and preparing for the church services, and practicing for the concert on Sunday evening. We all had specific jobs to do, and we all got them done.

In the evening, we had a Youth Rally at the church. We had 3 young adults come from another church, and a college age young man from the Teachout’s church come, besides our own youth. It was an encouragement to these young people, even though there were not any unsaved youth there.

At the Youth Rally, we all ate hot dogs, and then had a short program in the church auditorium with Pastor Teachout. Then, the young people, and some of the men went out to the bamboo woods behind the church, and in front of the river, to play paintball. They used slingshots to shoot balls of paint at each other. They seemed to have a great time, but this activity is very messy and dirty, especially out in the wet woods and mud. It had rained most of the day, so it was very muddy! After they finished that, they came back to the church, and some of them ended up, clothes and all, in the above ground swimming pool! They were very cold, but Pastor Teachout lit a fire, and they stood around the fire and roasted marshmellows to warm up! The young people had fun, and enjoyed getting to know each other!

As this is being written, it is 8:21pm Sunday evening, and we are fellowshipping with the church people after our concert. Praise the Lord, it went very well, and you will be updated Monday about the day.
