My Weekend

On Friday, I went with my friend to an unusual place that I wouldn't normally go to. My friend Ephraim asked if I wanted to go to his youth, I said yes. Now I wanted to go because youth was new to me although I was catholic Ephraim was Christian I still went. I also went cause one of my favorite sports was one of their games they would play, I'm talking about basketball. Ephraim - Ephraim is my teammate and my rugby "College Rifles" he's also a good mate of mine. I first met him at my first Rugby Club "Varsity"  Along with Kurtas, TJ and Ajani.

I finally arrived after a boring drive, I didn't see Ephraim around so I waited  around with my mum as she was texting Jonathan which was Ephraim's Dad. After a few minutes of waiting around Ephraim finally arrived. Ephraim and me was just hanging outside talking about what it would be like inside, when I had the confidence to go inside I told Ephraim to come with me cause I was shy.

We just got into the courts and I met up with the Youth Leader his name was Jack, Jack introduced me to some of the other Youth Leaders and I even got to meet the younger brother of David Fusitua or well that's what Ephraim told me. I also got to 1v1 Ephraim in a basketball match.

As Minutes passed finally Jack called us in for the starting prayer for the day. After that we got into groups I was in group "Mean Machine" while the other group was called "Top Guns" Ephraim was
also in my team. The first game we played was called "Travelous?" Or something like that I couldn't remember it. It was a game where we have to listen to a song and guess what was it called. As round 1 started the DJ played a song and it was crazy I couldn't even hear myself everyone was trying to figure it out.

An Hour passed, and my group wanted to play another game, this game we were playing was Soccer but not ordinary soccer we played with a big soccer ball, we also had to start with three people ringed up.... it's hard to explain but we had to bind up with our arms and from their on we had to try to kick e the ball into the goal, if your group unbinds you're team would be disqualified. After that me and Ephraim took a break.

The last thing we did was called Praise and Worship I didn't know what it mean't because I wasn't christian. It was where we would sing songs, and praising god. After that Jack introduced the new people to the Revelation it was me and this other dude. Finally the last part we did was talk about how we can increase our faith in god and change the world. Their was 4 people who did incredible speeches that affected me to now on try to change the world with kidness.

After everything was done we played a game of Basketball and I again 1v1ed Ephraim.


That was all the fun things I did in youth it was a really fun experience and I hope I could come back, although I can't because I have rugby. We are going to Tauraunga/Rotorua. This also helped me learn more about god.
