summer race~ bbq.

Today the church is celebrating the 6th anniversary. So in conjunction to this celebration, they had organized a programme called “the summer race”. Everyone was required to meet up at the Padfak Hall at 10 am. Firstly, I would like to thank GOD and praise GOD for such a wonderful weather. Today’s weather was really the perfect one! Not too hot, and not too cold. Wow, very rare to have such kind of weather in summer.
So, after dividing us into the respective groups, we all then head to the Kursk Gate – that was our starting point. The first event, 2 people from each group had to run hand in hand for about a hundred meter. Then, they were asked to pick a number and passed to the person in charge, and run back to the point that they started. Next, we were asked to guess a place – the clue was something connected with the Book of Psalms in the Bible.
We were kind of struggling, thinking of the next check point. Finally, yes! The Pushkin Theater. There, the person in charge gave each of the group a task – to find the respectives references for the given bible verses. After that, we were asked to go to the Kursk Hotel, and there’s another check point. The next person in charge asked us to divide our group members equally into 3 small groups. Each of the small groups were asked to go to 3 different supermarket. 1st- shum, 2nd – grin, 3rd – perikastok, manesh.
So me and dear were asked to go to manesh. Guess what, I had a very terrible experience there. I was accused, for not paying a bottle of 0.5 L mineral water – Bon Aqua. I tried explaining to them, ok, it was my mistake number one, to bring in outside product, and I entered the wrong way, instead of the entrance, I enter through the exit way. Ok…I admit that…but, I wonder what the guard was for? I mean, were they been employed for just standing in front of the supermarket just like other models in the clothes shops? I was very angry plus I was in a rush, and couldn’t talk more. Why? Coz the cashier, the guard…both of them was so unreasonable!
I was very mad at their attitude towards the customers. Dear was with me, even though dear helped me to explain to them, they ignore all the explanations, till chee kai came and settle the fuss with money. ~ Simply pay them for no reason!! We then left the Manesh and got into the mashrute to central market, to meet up with other members. We arrived quite late. Anyways, the next event was we were asked to eat the bun - 4 hot dog buns.
And the last task was, we were supposed to go back to Padfak. Choc ky, one of our members fell down…and got scratched on his abdomen and elbow. Fern helped him to clean the wound and bought him the antiseptic cream. She then helped him to apply on the wounded area. Anyways, we were then asked to memorize psalm 91. so we divide the whole chapter equally among the group members. Not more than 5 mistakes, says the person in charge. We managed to recite them out, with 4 mistakes, and overall we got the 3rd place. Hey, not bad though…3rd out of 15 groups. The summer race was ended with barbeque, somewhere behind out hostel. Wow, the view was so fascinating.
I just want to thank GOD for His protection and guidance upon us. Thanks dear for helping me especially at some points, I just dun feel like running, even walking.
