I didn't have to get up until 7 today which was nice, and was Picked up by Greg at 7.45 to head to the Prison. We stopped at the petrol station and noticed the man was wearing a BP Soccer T-shirt so we started to chat to him about soocer and who he supported and if he was going to watch The Champions League Final tomorrow. He said that he wanted to but didn't kno if he could. So we decided to invite him to the Big Screen event that the church was putting on to watch the football as an outreach oppertunity and they are going to have a BBQ in the evening as well. Then another guy came over so we invited him as well, and then invited all of the petrol pump men after a few minutes of chatting to them. We then headed on to the prison where we met Melissa, Jo and Stewart. We then headed into the prison, where we went though the normal procedure of getting search. I'm getting to know some of the guards now and getting a few oppertunities to chat more with them which is nice. We then headed up to the field where we met the guys, although there was only 7 of them today as the rest were away at another prison playing football for the prsion team. It was nice to have a smaller group as I could get to know them easier. Chatted with Niko again and when he gets out it looks like he's definately going to be working with AIS and going to be staying with Tim and his family. He was realy excited about this and couldn't stop smiling. The bible study today was about hope and faith. Stewart shareed a few personal experiences and how he'd gone to prison and what he went through, which was really interesting to hear about. We then began training. Me and Greg also got involved today and did a few drills. We also played 3 on 3 football matches and had a lot of fun with that. We then rpped it up for the day and said our goodbyes and headed home. When got in had another nap before dinner and the after dinner started to prepare for the meeting that I have tomorrow with the Head Teacher in a school about running a football clinic during our tour at the school. Also I'm leading the bible study in the prison on thursday, and don't know what to do it on. And feeling really tired alot recently so got to find time to rest as well.
Speak soon
