Today we have a day off and it couldn’t have come at a better time because we had a pretty crazy day yesterday. We are staying at old nev’s church in Byron, so we went to the service in the morning and watched nev jammed out for worship, which never disappoints. As the message they discussed the social injustices going on in northern Uganda. And man, it was rough. I sometimes forget about emotions, but when a topic like child soldiers and senseless massacres is being discussed, they get tugged pretty hard. So we had quite a while debriefing what we talked about and prayed for the nations. After that, we decided to hit up the Byron bay beach and set up a bbq. The beach is massive for backpackers, quite a crazy beach. Youll no doubt hear me talking more about this place because thats where we plan to do most of our ministry. So we set up the bbq. and the volleyball net. And let the games begin. Now obviously, soon as you toss up a bbq and a vball net. The people come by the heaps. We played volleyball which some people from france and spain. Meanwhile some of the others had a soccer game with some aussie. We handed out some burgers and hit the waves with some of the people we met. Around 5 we had to pack up, because we were heading to church again. We got told about this crazy rad hippie church called New Earth Tribe. Had no idea what to expect going in, and even when I got in and saw the set up and the outfits, my expectations were even more far out. But honestly, for the 4 hours and 20 minutes we were there, it was awesome. They did worship, like nothing else. we worshiped for 3 hours-singing 4 songs. Everyone packed up the front, in front of the pillows dancing and jumping, just going for it. The message was really good too, basically what I took away from it was how you perceive God determines how you relate to him. She really explained it all about relationship, rather than religion. And thats what its gotta be about I reckon.
Then we decided to go into town to find a place to watch the football, we watched the first half at this beach bar, and then they shut. So we found somewhere else still open. We went to a hotel next to watch the second half. Now, this is where the story gets eventful so try and keep up. We were on these mad comfy couches, and im sorry, but i was absolutely exhausted from the day, so i fell asleep. I half wake up to the security guy telling me its time to go home, and to get out. So in my half sleep haze i guess I just agreed with him and walked out with him. Everyone was still sitting around me, oblivious the situation but they did watch me walk out, and they were like what did he do? Laura asked me where i was going as i was being walked out, and i guess i wasstill out of it. I turned to they guard and mumbled “but everyones still here” not making my case any better. I found myself out the door. Iwasnt until then and i got hit by the fresh air, did i fully come too, and understand the situation. He must have thought I was drunk off my face. (because as you may learn, isn’t that rare for visitors of this town) falling asleep on the couch and my half comprehendable mumbles didn’t do a good enough job convincing him otherwise. So now, by myself, outside, late at night. I ensured the rest of my mates to just stay and enjoy the game. and i was off for a strool. At this point, I was happy with the situation. And coulnt have been bothered to even go back to a couch. So in my journeys, I met four girls that gave me a slice of pizza, ran into the infamous white dog that wanders the streets of Byron that weve seen a few times before (including that same day, when it came into the service at new earth tribe. Continueing i bought candy from this guy named jarieff at a store. And then ran into Jordan and raf! They were with this guy named jye. Jye was unfortunately, way off his face. He claimed to have lived in Byron for 108 years. And also that he was, 36, 28 and 19 years old. And to be honest, it could have been any of those. ..well maybe not 108. So we continue on with them. Then the three of us ditched Jye while he was distracted by a pack of girls. Walked the beach, and then we again parted ways. Raf and jord stayed at the club. I headed back to the hotel, as im walking up to it, all my friends walk out. Perfect timing, but awful result. Chelsea won 2 – 0. We got in the van. Drove home. I made a bed. Goodnight. The end.
Also...Today matty and vidar went skydiving. Ive seen the video proof. And according to matty the feeling of getting sucked out of a plane is the feeling of when your stomach goes in your head, times a billion million. This brings me to my next subject, If anyone would like to pay for me to fall out of a plane at 14 000 feet. It would be my pleasure. Now really, the end.
