Flour Wars and Junior High Bash




On Monday, we had our annual "junior high welcome" to those in the current 6th grade who will be joining us in junior high come August. With the help of our current junior highers, we played a few games, ate some ice cream and toppings, and had a devotional. It went pretty well with about 22 teens attending.

But don't blame me for what happens AFTER a youth event! Using flour from a game we'd played, a number of the kids got into a flour-war. Yep; they ended up with white hair, pasty faces, and clogged ears... Observe the photos and you can see for yourself.

This photo is of Nick (WGM VIA and MK from Bolivia) and Fred (a funny guy from here in Uganda, who has a lucky toe -so he says). The next photo of the girls is Lebo (from South Africa) and Donatella (from the USA and Italy). The girls told me that it took an hour to shower off the gluey, sticky, messy flour in their hair. Ugh!
