The ceremony was a new experience for everyone (excluding Mr Cocker who has evidently practised his moves prior to the visit) and it was like no other; startled by the spontaneity of their outbursts of prayer and passion, we all embraced the opportunity to involve ourselves with those outside of the Greater Joy School and further our understanding of their beliefs. The Church community was incredibly welcoming and excited to share their weekly service with us and introduce us to their way of celebrating life.
After witnessing how close their community is, we decided ourselves to spend some time as a team. Thanks to Ellee (Eddie's sister) we have been introduced to a game called 'Heads Up' and have been playing non-stop and challenging the Gappies, Charlie and Alex, who despite being unable to score over 4 points have shared their stories and have equally become part of the team, adopting our humour and sass.
We are thoroughly enjoying our time away and cannot wait to return to Greater Joy School in the morning and can't wait to see what new experiences we will embark on throughout the rest of the week.
Missing you all lots,
Katie, Chandler, Sophie T & Eddie
P.s. Eddie is ready to move out here - sorry Jackie & Steve.
Looks like you're all having loads of fun. I can't believe how much you've already achieved in such a short space of time - well done. Hope church was all you hoped it would be Rhianna and keep away from the goats...
