Day 16 - Saturday 17th June

Saturday was another early start as we needed to be at Higher Rock Church, where we were holding the seminar for 8 so that we could register everyone before 9! So that meant leaving the homes at 7 (which meant that we had to be up about 6 in order to b ready and have had breakfast!), so that we could get to the meeting place, and then drive to the church, picking up everyone else on the way!
We arrived at the church just after 8, were put to work straight away Sarah helping sort out those who had pre-registered and me with those who were registering there and then. Pretty soon were swamped with people to register! About 400 people came and we had to try and get them all registered in an hour! Our job was made a little difficult because we found it hard to understand people's accents in the noisy hall, even if they spoke English! Fortunately we were not on our own and the social workers, (who were also cting as ushers for the day), managd to keep things running smothly!
We joined everyone else in the main hall for the seminar, which was split into six sessions and was basically what we had heard Pastor Tripp speak on at the other talks and seminars. During the first break we helped sort out the remaining few people who had not yet been regitered, because they arrived late and at lunchtime we helped to hand out the lunches (Chicken and rice!).
Everything seemed to go really well, and we left Pastor Tripp, (who nearly lost his voice he was doing that much talking!), signing hundreds of copies of his book, 'Shepherding A Child's Heart', to go back to Masinag for dinner.
We played with some of the girls for a bit and then went to bed to recover from all those early mornings s that we would be refreshed and ready for Sunday!
Hope you appreciate my attempts to make the blog more colourful!
