Buckin' Bull

Hey everybody!

Every Thursday here we have Hillsong Men and Hillsong Women. It's pretty cool and I guess there are a couple thousand women that show up every week for Hillsong Women. I'm not 100% sure because I've never been in one of their services, but I have been in the men's services and there's usually two or three hundred guys that show up. This week was the last one for the year so it was a big "Welcome To Summer Party."

There was heaps of great activities set up like pool tables and pin ball machines. There were also four XBox 360's set up on large HD TV's. The best though, was the mechanical bull. It was pretty crazy, and the guy who could hold on the longest was given an iPod. A lot of guys held on for ten seconds or so, but one held on for thirty-eight seconds. Another guy smashed his face into the top of the bull's head. He was really hurt or anything, he was tough.

It was a great start to the weekend, and all of this marked the end of our school year. We have no more classed until early in February 2007. That's a long break, especially in this heat. I guess we'll just have to spend lots of time at the beach. Oh well, we've gotta do what we've gotta do.

We also had an American Thanksgiving dinner last night. Our friend Paula is American and her mom sent some decorations for her. The food was great! Amy made stuffing again. It was really good! Next up is Christmas dinner - I can't wait!

Anyway, we hope you all have an awesome weekend! We miss you all.
