Friday's are for Youth Group

Scarleth had an ultrasound this morning and was sent home after, they arent exactly sure what the deal is yet but she is making some progress, please continue to pray for her.

Before heading out today we were pretty nervous for how our youth group meeting would go tonight because we hadn't put nearly the time and planning into it that we wanted to. With Pinnacle here we had long days in villages, and then with Scarleth's sickness we have been torn between helping her and trying to plan our fun time, videos, music, and message. Scarleth is our MC and main fun for Friday nights the whole first hour, and she couldn't go. We prayed for the night and decided Daniel could help me MC and we would just do our best and let God take the night in his hands.

We had possibly our best youth meeting yet! Daniel did a great job improvin at MC and Tommy helped us with some great game/fun time ideas. We had 5 girls go behind the dental clinic and 1 at a time had to come through and name different sport balls under towels...but we put Tim's head in place of the basketball and it was hilarious. Darling, one of the pastor's daughters, also planned a blindfolded baby food feeding contest that had some guys pretty messy.

The worship time went great and then the attention for the lesson was hands down the best it has ever been. Tommy let them know that if they wanted to leave after the fun time, they were more than welcome because we are no longer going to deal with side conversations and distractions. Over 100 teenagers-25 year olds listened closely and the night felt like a great success. We are hoping to build off this week.

Please continue to pray for Scarleth, things went well tonight for us, but we hated that she had to miss being out thier with our team. We haven't heard anything new since the ultrasound, but she is home resting in bed.
