What a day for church services! In the morning the team divided into 2 groups and attended the other churches they hadn't attended last week. Alistair preached at Stafford Creek and Stanyard creek. The other group went to Nicholl's Town and enjoyed Rev Stacia preach.
After a relaxing lunchtime and early afternoon where some of us took the opportunity to sleep, we spent a couple of hours preparing for our contributions to the evening circuit youth service.
At 7pm Junkanoo fun -church style started. We shared our cultures with each other. Revs mark & Stacia spoke about the culture of St Kitts and Nevis, our team spoke of the culture of Liverpool and the UK, and the Bahamian young people gave us a crab dance about crabbing with a live crab. It was fantastic! Both teams spoke of their exchange experiences, and then we taught each other something from our cultures. Rev Stacia taught us 'Stark in me lan'' meaning 'Goat in my land', Alistair & Caitlin led the singing of 'In my Liverpool Home' and the Bahamian young people led Junkanoo fun! There were 3 drummers and cow bells and dancing. It was amazing. Afterwards the Liverpool team were invited to have a go. Chris picked up the biggest drum and was taught the rhythm, which he quickly picked up. Rae & Tom also had drums and Al picked up the cow bells and went full out with the dance as well. 'Go Rev, go!' was the shout from Mary and friends. We had a marvellous time.
We rounded the evening off with card games at the Manse. Tomorrow we get a lie in. We meet at 11am. Sweet dreamzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Thanks for the effort to write all this down, I'm not surprised you are so tired! Maybe also that mention of chocolate seems to have melted away? What a fantastic place to learn to swim - most of our stories tell of the local baths, not nearly so glamerous. The most fish I have seen today is on a visit to the new 'Morrisons' over the road to my house. As I stood admiring the new fish stall, the fishmonger asked whether I had come with the bread ! When I laughed he said ' see, she's read The book; I replied I was pleased he had read it too. You never know the moment. Make the most of yours and take care, with love, Chris J
