Vacation Pictures Leg 2 Part 2

The first ......um 7 pictures (the small sized ones) were pictures from this morning where we (the 5 teens) were asked to put together an activity for the younger kids. Well at first we had no idea whatsoever what to do and we spent like 10 min spewing out crazy idea's until I finally came up with a sensible one .... I thought maybe we should do a skit the kind the kids would read in the Gen-Up you know with Spirit helpers and different scenario's where they (the kids) could apply the word. I took us ......15 mins to come up with a loose story (along with practicing it once and making up other story pointers as we went). Well I can't say wye were really prepared 100% to act it so we all had to sort of play along and pray that things would go along as we had loosely planned and that it wouldn't look TOO bad!!! Anyway the story goes as follows: a single mom gets this great idea (from a spirit helper) to take her 2 kids on vacation after they were super shiners during the last english camp (and because she also needed a break) so announces the plan to her kids. We had the 2 "kids" (played by Matt and Lita) portray the differences of character such as Lita was the "good girl" who's really inspired and has a great channel!! as for Matt he's a little worldly and somewhat disobedient (he apparently also listens to oplexicon, obstacon, and other counterfeits of light; played by kwan). So as the story goes along we had examples of situations and how to (and NOT how to) react!! In the end Matt learns his lessons and starts listening to the good side (which was played by Kirsten) and they have a great vacation (oh yeah in the end I kill Kwan too!! snicker). We tailored the story to fit this specific vacation so it was very applicable (I think....). It was great fun, we had a little bit of a hard time keeping from laughing and everyone did a excellent acting job!!


Niki and Elaina
This was at the end when we were telling the audience the moral of the skit
