Hey all! Sorry for the lack of updates, life has been ridiculously busy here(been pulling the equivalent of 60 hour work weeks). But we got housing for the team! We're in two separate apartments (same complex), but we've got a home. So all is well.
We've been working out all the logistics for the drop in centre. Who knew so much paperwork was involved?
I've been cooking for the team almost every day (our intentional team time is during supper) and enjoying it immensely.
We want to start a 'cafe' of sorts for the youth once every couple weeks, but we're having some issues finding a place we could do it. We're not able to do it at the YMCA (same place as the drop in) because it's fully booked for the week. Please be praying that we find somewhere to host this I'm hoping to have some baking days with some youth during the cafe once we find a place, and starting up a creatives class of sorts, where those who are interested can learn how to make lip balms, body lotions/creams, etc. I will be fundraising for supplies for this once it's final that we have somewhere to do it. The kids are fans of the crafty stuff, and a few have already spoken interest in regards to it so I think it'll be good.
Aaaaand The Anchor is on Instagram, so go follow us if you like to Instagram: @AnchorNewRoss. Our first drop in night is tomorrow evening! Woohoo! I'm so excited!
I love you guys and miss you all! Thank you SO SO much for the prayers. Please be praying for me for energy re: Saturday. I'm going to need it immensely. Those kids have a ridiculous amount of energy and I need to be on my A game to keep up with them. I'm taking a muchly needed introvert day on Sunday so I can rest and recharge. It is a nice change though, being able to love what you do. I understand now when people say they love what they do, even though it's exhausting. It's worth it all and leaves you with a good feeling
