Ice Blocking

Last night we had a going away party/birthday party for some of our students. It was Jessica's 17th birthday and it was a going away party for Michael, Veronica and Esther.

Michael left this morning for Korea, where he will spend the summer before returning to New York to go to College.

Veronica leaves tomorrow for Korea, she will attend an international school there next year.

Esther leaves tomorrow as well, for Switzerland where she will spend 6 months at a YWAM base.

So, in honor of them we had a party and went ice blocking. If you have never been before, its pretty fun. All you need is a block of ice and a grass hill. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy. It was a fun and sad night. A bunch of students of Salem Heights Church came down to hang out with us which was cool.

As fun as it was, it was sad to say goodbye at the end of the night. I have to be honest and say, it is nights like those that make me hate my job. Well...hate might be a strong word. I love the relationship I have with students, but it makes it really hard when they have to leave.

Anyways, here are some pictures from ice blocking.
