Sunday
Most of the September DTS left for home today, which gave us the opportunity to clean up the house (which, you can imagine, was a bit of a mess after a week of 50 students running around).
We set up the movie screen and projector and watched Amazing Grace in the evening, which inspired us to put our plans for the long weekend into motion and reserve a room in a London hostel for one of the nights.

Monday
All is back to normal today. It was finally dry enough to play volleyball for sport this evening - we’re all pretty bad at it but it was still really fun! I know you’re jealous Arianne and Graham!
Thursday
It was Dan’s and my turn to do “crèche” (French for daycare) this morning, so we spent an hour watching three of the children of staff who were in a staff meeting at the other end of the house.
We had outreach in Brighton this afternoon; several pairs of us went out to talk with people on the streets - basically asking them their opinions on God and chit chatting - some of us hung out outside a Baptist church we’re partnered with handing out free tea, coffee, and cookies, and some of us (including me for the first half) were inside the church praying for the city.
I was outside handing out tea for the last half; I had a couple of interesting conversations - it was lots of fun.
We had another ministry night this evening; we needed the opportunity to talk through problems we were having and bond as a group again.

Saturday
We got to learn to dance today! Hanna’s cousin came down from London with several of their friends and they spent four hours teaching us different steps - a fusion mainly of tango and jive. I really enjoyed it - we learned three different routines. There weren’t quite enough guys to go around for all the girls, so we rotated around every minute or so, switching from one guy to the next.
We got fairly good after a bit; the guys even liked it. We had taken over the dining room for the dance, so we kept on goofing around for an hour or so even after the dance instructors had left. Jonathan had already taken swing dancing lessons, so he taught me a few steps as well.

Indeed.
