Week Nine

Youth Group 3 hours
Laser Tag 7.5 hours

Personal Reflection:
We this week was a lot of fun! I approached youth with a different spirit, I was excited to hang with the guys and play some basketball, and that is exactly what we did.

When youth started, tony addressed a problem that happened last week. He did not mention who did what, but he did talk about our DNA as a youth group and that we know how we are supposed to act. It was brief and to the point, I liked how he approached it, though I still would have done things different.

The two sisters came again, that is good! I didn’t get to interact with them much, but I am glad that they are coming.

Saturday the youth went to Laser X in Fort Wayne In. It was a blast, there were people all together. I rode in the vane with the middle schooler, which is great because I love middle school. When we got to Fort Wayne, we stopped at a mall for a couple hours to eat and walk around. I really got to know these kids on a more personal level, I even know all there names as well as many others that went.

The next day at church, I got many of those kids coming up to me and saying hi, whether it is by pushing me, running in to me, or just saying “Hi David”.

Spiritual Reflection:
I love life!!! School is winding down and all my hard stuff is almost at an end, I have time to see my fiancé, and I can give more attention to the kids at youth. Relationships bring the joy in me, and I have really lacked them this semester with everything I have going on.

You would still have done things different...isn't it funny how that always seems to be the case. I laugh when I imagine some young collegiate doing a practicum with me thinking the same thing.

Shared experiences are so cool how they can bring people together like that...it's silly but it is similarly amazing how much food has an impact on that fellowship. When I take the guys to Taco Bell, we seem to hit a new level with each burrito.
