Day 10 Sunday June 6th 2010

Hey y'all! It's been a great Lord's Day today! First I got up and showered, then I did some organization in my room (I try to keep everything neat and tidy because I'm a guest in someone else's home). After that, I grabbed a bowl of cereal before the teens showed up for Bible Study at 13:00. One teen, Ivars (pronounced Eevars), showed up before I was through with breakfast. I had been told that this might happen, and actually I think it's a good thing if the teens want to show up early. Anyway, Bible Study was underway in no time, and we had a great turnout! First we started off with a fun game, like normal, but this time I had to plan the game! The game went over really well, and all the youth seemed to really enjoy it! It's actually called "snort". The object of the game is to keep a straight face without smiling or laughing, and the last person still in the game wins. Everyone stands facing inwards in a circle, and one at a time you turn to your neighbor and snort. A double snort reverses the direction of play. It's absolutely hillarious! (I took some video and posted a link to it, but at this point they decided to use animal noises instead of snorts. Personally I think the original was better, but oh well!) After the game, we read the 8th commandment from Exodus 20, and then a passage from Luke 18. Everything was done in Latvian so I'm not sure exactly what was said, but I assume that it was good! After Bible Study, it was time to attend RRBC (Riga Reformed Bible Church). Church was good, and Alvis Sauka delivered a sermon from John 7 (he started by reading all of chapter 7, not a short passage)! I recognized two of the songs again today, but I couldn't come up with the names. :-/ After church we had 2 teens, and 2 young adults over to Carl and Becky's to watch the movie "Luther", which is basically about the life and work of Martin Luther. The movie was very inspiring, and we all enjoyed it! Once the movie was over, everyone left, and then it was time for cleanup...yippee! So I helped Carl and Becky clean up the apartment from the day's activities, and then it was time for bed!
