The next morning we headed off to Teen Challenge to serve brunch to a group of around 20 guys. We made scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, hashbrowns and also served cinnamon buns and muffins that we had made previously. They really enjoyed it!
After eating was done we presented them with a short program. Cody lead some praise and worship, Paul shared his testimony as well as a devotional and then Cody and Adam finshed off with a special number of their own which the guys all really enjoyed! It was so encouraging watching and being with these guys, and just hearing their story and seeing how much these guys have actually changed the way they live and how excited some of them are about Jesus!
We then headed off to Andrew and Amy's house which is on Burrows. They are friends of Kevin and Becky's from Bible school. They are church planters from our conference. We got together in groups of around 4, including some of their youth which was awesome and started cleaning. We cleaned up garbage on a few blocks surrounding and including Burrows. There was soooo much garbage everywhere. It was so nice to look back and see that we were actually making a difference. You can help others in so many different ways!
In the evening we all went to the Golf Dome and went mini golfing! I probably played my WORST game ever! I went off the green about 4 times for sure! The guys played Monopoly again until about 3 in the morning! Kelsey and I stayed up that late as well and we were not even playing! We weren't even that tired ... not sure why... that is pretty late!
The next morning a few of us went to church in Winnipeg. We could pick anywheres we wanted to go so we decided to go to Kelsey's sisters church near Corydon.
........ and that ended our mission weekend!
FUNDUE NIGHT!
Sunday Jared and I went to Lindsay and Jared's in Steinbach, along with Cody and Michael and had a bit of a farewell for Cody before he left for his trip. Cranium was pulled out and a lot of fun was had!
Lindsay had gotten a fondue set so she made us a chocolate fondue with fruit!
Pretty much right away when the fruit was hauled out, there were 6 eager hands with sharp little forks ready to devour! Everyone was trying to steal everyone else's fruit. It was CRAZY! But oh so delicious! Michael ended up with his hand bleeding a bit as well as a big chunk of fruit being flown into his coffee. All in all a great evening it was!
You can never hang out with cousins too often!
It got pretty out of hand

It looks like you guys had a lot of fun on your C+C weekend...I wish that we could have made it out to that!! Maybe next time. Mmmm Fondue! Lisa and I have taken a real liking to it since Christmas...It's so much fun to do with a group of people!
I think the cousins on the Friesen side have a really special relationship. I love it that you all hung out and are close.
Glad you had a good time on your missions weekend.
