The week after the going away party we had a few of our bible studies and some of the young brothers and sisters over for pizza, cookies, and a movie. Our bible students came over in the afternoon and the mother of the family and the rest of the girls from the house cooked a meal together. They made a traditional Guyanese meal: dhall, curry potato, roasted chicken, and rice. It was delicious. After they left Cat started making pizza and cookie dough. As soon as she finished cooking two pizzas the power went out. But, our friends still showed up so we served pizza and drinks in the dark and huddled around our portable DVD player and watched Breakin' 2 (those poor young people had never seen it before...tragic.) Then, after about two hours or so the power came back on so we cooked three more pizzas which were quickly eaten by the 18 or so young brothers and sisters who had come to the house. Cat made 8 trays of M & M cookies which soon met a similar fate. Then, we all watched “A Knights Tale”, another fine American classic. The kids had a great time, we were exhausted but happy we could host one last gathering for the young people in Linden.
