Our retreat and more kiddos

Last weekend we spent fri-sun at a retreat center about an 1hr and 30 mins away. Part of it was silent at different periods throughout day unless we were meeting for our sessions. It was a nice relaxing place, but some of the sessions made my brain hurt. We had a chance to look back at our lives, life lessons, gifts and ask the question, " Who has God created me to be?" Obviously we weren't expected to answer this fully over a weekend, but we were challenged to explore the hand prints of God in our lives and see how they might connect to each other. 

Here are some more pictures from kids club today. Today we played charades with the kids and Petunia and I gave the them their word/action. I told this girl to act out "taking a bath." She got up in front of her team and began making a large circle with her arms and then bending down like she was picking something up. This went on for about 30 secs and then i began to think she must not have understood me so I had Petunia check with her. Turns out she heard me right but it was interpreted wrong. In Zulu "take" translated literally means to "pick up" so this poor darling understood what I said to mean "pick up the bath." I couldn't stop laughing!  She was so serious but she must have thought I was out of my mind asking her to act out "picking up a bath." Oh language learning.

left over batter! today it was green.

Whenever Petunia divides the kids into groups or
teams she has them start by lining up by height.
