Sorry its taking me so long

So i love working out at this gym that we joined.  Its never crowded.  And there is a Smoothie King near by and their smoothies are great for lunch and they just taste amazing.  So we do that after working out.  But on to the good stuff.

So this coming Sunday me and Rachael are gonna be teaching the guys and girls teen class to get them ready for their bible bowl deal at the end of the quarter.  Last Sunday Jared did a background of the book of Luke for both classes and this week me and Rachael are getting our lessons planned so the kids are taught the same stuff.  Sunday night we went to the Azalea Church where both me and Rachael's host family go to and afterwards at Sonic we ran into our first experience of racial hostility.  The interesting part is it wasn't in the projects. The sonic is near the "wealthier side of town".  And i guess you have to almost expect it at some point but well it was just interesting. 

Then Monday we had a meeting with the Housing Board for RV Taylor to make sure we could show a movie there.  And then the three of us got Charleston, Antonio, and Keyana and we canvassed RV Taylor telling people about the Tuesday night movie night.  We also went around and visited some people.  We went and purchased the movie to show for Tuesday and did some other work. 

Tuesday was movie day!!! we took Tuesday morning off from the gym.  We came in the building did work, ate lunch then we went to buy popcorn and a sheet to show the movie on.  Then we went and visited a few more people before we went to pick up Charleston from basketball practice and then we went back to the church to start making the popcorn.  We had a fun time doing it even though we made a few small fires, the building is still standing. 

Then i drove Jared's truck out to RV while he picked up kids and me and Big Tony and Charleston set everything up.  We had the movie ready, the popcorn ready, and the sound set up. Only one problem.  And this problem was ok since this was our test run, but when we started it was way to bright outside so you could barely see the picture. So we had to keep about 20-30 kids entertained which is not an easy task.  Thank God for Catrina because she got them rounded up and playing games while we waited for it to get a bit darker. We finally got to watch the movie which was......VEGGIE TALES!!!! Daniel and the Lions Den... oh yAAAA.  Some of the older kids weren't as interested but the younger ones loved it. 

After the movie and we got everything back to the church and unloaded, me and Rachael and Charleston and Jared along with Ben Big Tony and Tina went to dinner.  Literally one of the funniest nights of my life.  It was absolute hilarious being with them all.  All of us were dying laughing before the night was over.  They are great!!This picture is Rachael with Ben (left) and Charleston (right).

Wednesday me and Rachael brainstormed for class that night.  Christina, the secretary had just finished teaching the week before on creation so we picked up from there talking about how woman was made from man and what the purpose of it was.  It was so cool cuz we got operation which was ridiculous because no place that had operation came with any bones.  All of them were random objects. So Rachael made ribs and we had the kids try to get them out. Eventually they all got it without being buzzed.  All in all the class went really well.  I can't wait for this weekend!!!
