Last Saturday the Memphis Gatehouse hosted a water day for the kids in our neighborhood. We've actually been trying to plan it for a while but every weekend something was happening to prevent it. Finally, Friday night my mom got an okay from the guys out here to go ahead and do it. So she and Micaiah went out late that night and bought a bunch of things for it. I worked Saturday morning so I wasn't home to help with all the prep but Miss Mala, Miss Mary, Auna, and Naqi were here. It started with only two neighborhood boys but then a lady brought over a bunch of her grandkids and even went and got more kids. We had three legged races, sack races, a relay race with eggs, a relay race with apples, toss the water balloon into a hoop, and a couple more.

It was a very fun day and we ended with a huge water balloon fight! The water day was a great way to meet new kids. This morning in our ladies meeting we talked about doing a block party in our neighborhood. I am excited and can't wait to meet more people!
