Day #7

HELLO EVERYBODY!!!!

Thanks everyone who has been reading this, and praying for us while we are out here. It is very much appreciated!!

This morning was a lazy one, as we got to sleep in until NINE O'CLOCK!!! We were all pretty pumped!!
We all got ready, and headed to the South Asian Community Center for lunch. Most got Gyros, lamb or chicken pitas, and Dip n' Dots (the ice cream of the FUTURE)!!! We left for Masbeth Bible Church for the kids and youth program there. We were there by 1 o'clock and helped the program leader, Dorothy, and her helpers Brigy, Eric and Todd. We all did various activities before the kids got there; bathroom cleaning, put together Easter eggs, organized donated clothes, craft organization, mopped and swept, made picture collages, scraped the gym floor, and addressed envelopes. Once the kids got there, we were all helping with the different activities that they had planned. There were crafts, gym games, spoon hockey, basketball, scooters and lots more.

Then we got some directions and drove to Manhattan to Times Square, and The Gate at The Times Square Church. The Gate is a youth night the church has every Friday night. It was a wonderful evening of worship and speaking. It was about three hours long, but it was very different. There was a play for us, and a sermon by the Pastor. It was a good night. McDonald's for supper and a walk by Times Square for some of us after the service.

We drove back to the Reimer's house and had a little chat. Then we hit the sack. Tomorrow and Sunday are days of being a tourist!! So we are gonna get up pretty early, and hit the city!!

Have a great night everyone!!  Love ya'll
