So what happened to me and the Sleepover / Christmas program et al? Well the sleepover went alright, and it actually was a lot of fun. We played a lot of crazy games, like one where we put some M&M’s on a paper towel stretched over a bowl full of water. Then you poke holes in the paper towel with a pencil. The person to send the M&M’s into the water has to eat them out of the water without using their hands! That gets disgusting 
We stayed up really late watching Hook and generally had a good time.
Next day was the Christmas Program, which went well. I played my one song with the band and then watched the rest from the audience. Everything went off perfectly without problem and we quickly came to the best part : Refreshments!
The Symons left a few days ago, they’re in N’Djamena now and soon on their way out.
On Friday the whole TEAM Chad field goes to Annual Conference, including me. We’ll be gone just over a week with probably no Internet or Email of any kind the entire time.

That M&M game sounds great! We’ve played a similar thing with an upside-down cupful of flour which each person cuts chunks off. When the candy on top falls down into the flour, you have to get it out with your mouth, same thing. But eating M&M’s in water would be so much wierder 😛
So this conference thing…is your whole family going? What’ll you be during the time? Hope it’s not too dull.
Yes, everyone on the entire field has to go — What we’ll do is unknown. The adults have their spiritual retreat (which I’ll likely take part in) and then business meetings, the kids have their own VBS-dude thing to keep them occupied. I’ll prolly do school while we’re there, but we’ve never had anything done for teens before (since there’s never been any) so we’ll see how ‘tall pans out — maybe they’ll need me to run their projector again and I’ll be with the adults all morning 😉
Sounds like our retreat. Where’s it happening?
Up in the capital, we leave this Friday and come back about a week from then 🙂
