Discovery Mentor Weekend

The first weekend after our team arrived in Tamale, we connected our Discoverers with some local mentors from the Jisonayilli Baptist Youth Association.  The weekend started off with outdoor games to have some fun together while everyone started to get to know each other. 

This was frisbee as you've probably never envisioned it before (did you ever think more than 20 people could play frisbee with only one disk?)  Two teams line up facing each other.  The frisbee is planted in the ground and one person from each team approach the frisbee.

Either of these people can pick up the frisbee first and try to run away without being tagged by the other person...

This looked to be a game for the young and quick... neither Shevawn or John tried to beat the odds in this game. 

The next game seemed "safer" for leader participation, sit in a circle and pass rocks around without missing a beat... both Shevawn & John tried this one!

And we were both soon sitting out on the sidelines watching the experts!

Soon it was time to share dinner bowls of Tuozaffi (TZ)! 

The following day, the Discoverers and the Mentors atended church together.

They actually spent the entire day hanging out and learning from each other after church. 

We are grateful for the faithful help of Isaiah Moses in organizing the local Baptist Youth for the Discovery Mentor weekend, this is a big part of learning how to learn culture during our team orientation.
