Contest : Weekly Diary game | Week 21 of 2025 | Preparing For The Hosting Of A Meeting

On the 10th day of May 2025, I was preparing for a deanery hosting with some of my fellow members in that altar servers association in my parish. We bought alot of things that day and we were glad that everything turned out to be successful that day. Walk with me as I tell you the full story for that day.

I had to leave the house very early that morning so that I can collect all the money most of my members made during the time they were approaching people to contribute for us so that we can successfully make arrangements for the hosting. They were to submit all they money they made, on that Saturday morning. I arrived at the church and saw alot of men who attends my church, playing football but I couldn't capture the moment properly as I only snapped the sky which was very bright that morning.

The young boys submitted their contribution money that people they approached for two weeks, gave to them generously. I calculated all the morning with our patron who was also with me observing the process. Some of the boys forgot their appeal fund card which they used to show people while pleading with them for support and we told them to make sure that they bring it that evening. We talked for a while with our Reverend Father so that he will be aware of our next move.

We dismissed the boys after we all finished washing and doing some rehearsals. Our patron gave me some amount of money to buy somethings we will need in the meeting and these things were bottles of groundnut, cabin biscuits, sachet water, ice block, drinks and so on. I embarked on a journey with my younger brother, one of our member and one of my fellow executive. We started with drinks and we kept them in our patron's bar where he does his business with his wife.

We then went to buy a pack of rubber band, a pack of floater takeaway plate, rubber spoon and also sachet water. After we bought these things for that moment we then went to our patron's place of work and kept them there. We went to the house to rest and prepare for another round of movement in the evening. On my way home I took a picture of the wet street and when I entered our compound I took a selfie. I took my bath and ate lunch then I checked for some messages on my phone and replied to the important ones.

In the evening the street was still wet and there was still water in some parts of the street due to a heavy rainfall that occurred on Friday midnight. The water doesn't flow to anywhere that is why is till there and it will only reduce when sun shines for a long time which makes the process of evaporation to begin. I met with the people I went with to buy things in the morning and after that we went to make enquiry for ice blocks and the man said we will need to make a half payment and complete the money the next day while going to collect the ice blocks.

Immediately we finished negotiating with the man we went back to the church for some rehearsals and I started writing names of the altar servers in our church both the ones that are active and inactive. Out Reverend Father asked for it and immediately I was done I submitted the list to him and we closed for the day. On my way home with my younger brother we bought two packs of cabin biscuit and two bottles of groundnut and these things will be shared in the meeting the next day.
