The Old Days!

Hi everybody!

So, IMT 2's going really well so far. Judit and I organised Jungschar (Kids Club) together for today, and it was great because she has a bunch of experience as well. So we could just bounce ideas off each other and work out what we think would be best. And to be honest, it was one of the best Jungschars I can remember. Not because of us or what we did, or what our ideas were, because I'm pretty sure we've done better stories in better ways with more fun games and more interesting crafts before. But it was great today because the kids were all on really good form. They were really well behaved, were good craic too, and listened well enough to the story, seemed to really enjoy the games, and got really into the craft. It was nice and easy today, which rarely happens.

Things are also comfortable within team-life too. Maria and Judit are both very nice, Maria's very talkative, almost to a fault, and Judit's still a bit shy but lovely. No problems there. We also can sit down and share ideas fairly openly and easily, which is also good!

Lukas came to Floha Youth Group tonight too! Lukas is the guy who was on team with me last year! He's working in a church about an hour away now, and starts tomorrow properly, but has said he's gonna try and come to our things as often as he can. He then came back to ours after for a cuppa. And it actually started to get me kinda sad. See, it was just like the old days, him being here again, and I started to miss it. Last year was an incredible experience, extremely difficult though it sometimes was. And now it's all so different. It's just strange. It's gonna take me a little while still to get used to it all!

Tomorrow I'm going to be spending pretty much all of my day translating. I don't exactly how long it'll take, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna take a good while, and could take me a normal working day, 9-5. That's what I'm aiming for anyway, that length of time. If I'm done anytime sooner, then happy days!

I also have my first game of the season for FC Arche on Saturday, which I'm looking forward to immensely! They've played four league games already, three losses and a draw, and a cup match, which they lost. But this Saturday they hope to take all 3 points. I can't wait! I haven't played a full match of football since the last day of last season, so I hope my fitness holds up!

I hope you're doing well, whoever you are, wherever you are!

Your Ginga Ninja!
