All Night Party

  Last Friday we helped chaperone our church's all night party. I wouldn't necessarily call it a lock-in because we went to the University of Houston's rec center for most of the night. The kids started arriving to the student building around 7. They have on their property a sand volleyball court, skate park, basketball court, ping pong, and various gaming stations. Russell and I's job was to man this bounce house/obstacle course monstrosity.

At 8:30 they brought all the kids in from outside. They had a guy that gave a concert, mostly clean pop songs, but then they presented the gospel and there were probably 20 or so kids that raised their hand to accept Christ. So that was awesome to see. There were over 500 kids there! Afterwards we went to the U of H rec center. It is very nice and new. There they had basketball, rock climbing, volleyball, racketball, swimming, soccer, handball, ddr, and lots of board games. It was a lot of fun, though I was definitely tired. So were some of the kids, they were asking if there was a place to go to sleep, and the answer was no. lol. We left U of H around 6:30, and we were ready to go home and crash, which is what we did. Luckily we were able to get back to our normal sleep schedules by the time Monday rolled around.
