Pick up basketball at Inverness
The day started in the wee hours of the mornin’ when we got out of bed and had a warm pot o’ porridge and some toast and jam. We headed to the church to meet the girls around 9 and headed out to do some: painting, hedge trimming, gutter cleaning, mulching (laying bark), and other odd jobs. During all of which, we had a chance to invite a few people to the BBQ later that night. The mulching crew was with Hok, while the painting crew went with Mrs. Urquhart. Mr. Lew had a ruckus of a morning; after coming out of toilet, he noticed he was left behind by all groups (“accidental act”). He then wandered around the area surrounding the church until he found Mrs. Urquhart’s group. The mulching group helped the community by laying bark at a local park, while some of the girls repainted the trains in the playground for the kids. Meanwhile, Micah got friendly with some town locals (Scottish women). The painting group painted some old play ground equipment giving it a fresh new luster, while some other painters tackled the front of the the West End Community Centre. Jake climbed a sketchy ladder then proceeded to clean tires, Superman belts, and loose change out of the gutters…and boy it smelled delightfully raunchy. At lunchtime, all groups met at the Community Centre for some good Scottish lasagna, garlic bread, and potatoes. Ryan Bert had a succesful lunch time, spilling first the water pitcher, then Sanders’ cup. Later he also poured water on his lap followed by some ice cream. The BBQ was a great time of socializing and meeting people. Dirk, a visiting member of the church, presented the gospel in a simple yet powerful way to our group and some local children. Yet, our night was not over. We then proceeded to Inverness to play some pickup with the Scottish national youth team. We definitely had more spirit…well maybe not even that… It was a good game nonetheless. Right now, we are writing this, sitting around the kitchen table, drinking tea, eating biscuits, and whatever other food is set in front of us.
Cheers for meow (Mrs. Printzenhoff will understand the meow reference)

LC Senior Go! 
Hello Litiitz Christian seniors and especially Micah my son. I am here at work on the night shift reading your blog and so excited to hear how God is using each group to bring help and encouragement to the people over there in Scotland. Wish I could have heard the bag pipe players in the parade you witnessed. I bet that sounded awesome. I see you got to do your favorite thing Micah-play basketball. Love the pics you are sending our way. We continue to pray for a safe and memorable journey. With love and prayers, Tony and Genine Donato
