I have spent my first few couple of days here in Richardson/Garland/Dallas Texas and already things are off to a bang. The other intern, Erin and I took 31 kids to go see the new Narnia movie, Prince Caspian last night. It was looking to be a blast until we found out that the Youth Minister Casey would not be there! We had three adult helpers. After losing a couple of kids and and reprimanding those who didn't listen, we had a good night.
I made the awful mistake while driving the van full of noisy teenagers of teaching them a new game. "Every time you see a yellow car, except for school buses, you yell out 'Yellow Car!' The first person to beat me will get a slurpy." Bad idea. For the entire trip all I had was girls screaming and guys telling them to shut up. They all seemed to like the game, too much. All in all, it wasn't a bad trip.
I have spent most of the day with my amazing host family the Steinmetz's. Thie kids play hockey and basketball. Apparently, God knew what he was doing once again when he paired me with this wonderful family. The only problem they seem to have is their liking the Dallas Stars who are enevitably going to be destroyed by my Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup playoffs. But I can forgive a little healthy competition. They truly have been a blessing and I could not be happier. Collin and I have been hitting some pucks and are going to get some ice time later in the summer. Connor and I have been shooting some hoops and plan to go to the health club and get into some pick-up games. Things are looking up for this to be a fantastic summer. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with you!
Grace and Peace
