First day of afterschool program.
2 hours before it starts....2 of the girls in the program get arrested in front of the school.
I was told a lot of fights go on and not with the guys its the GIRLS. There are a lot of girls all of them loud and talk so much I can hardly keep up.
But I can tell that inside they really want to be loved
The guys are quieter trying to be "cool" I'm getting no respect haha.
Some of kids are so violent.... I'm scared to break up their fights
Overall the youth here are tough.
So much attitude. Its hard to believe most of them are only in grade 7.
At the end of the day three of girls were walking out the front door and we caught them trying to steal a cake from the church. They lied and told me that one of the leaders let them.... I believed them >.< Good thing my streetleader.. Prophet (you can guess why he's called that) knew there were full of it and took it away.
I'm too nice.
BUT, Despite the chaos of the 30 or so kids running around the small church
I felt calm and I couldn't help but see how awesome God made these kids.
I was able to connect and talk to one kid.
The culture here is unique I'm starting to like it, its still weird being the only asian! They wanted to call me ....chopsticks, but God already gave me my camp name:
"Vessel"
keep praying
