Youth Retreat
Being with the youth on their retreat at the Water Camp was so fun. All of the youth never been to a water park before so they were very excited to be there. Some do not even have beds to sleep on at home so staying in the hotel with comfortable beds was a blessing to them. I was excited too because the Water Camp was beautiful and plus it gave me an opportunity to be a child again. Many of the children did not know how to swim either so they were eager to learn from those who knew how to swim from our team. We played games ,ate, and song gospel songs. We also had the chance to do devotions with the youth and just listening how they have a good understanding of the Bible is so great. I know many people in America do not have such a high commitment to the Bible as these youth do. I know majority of all my team members can agree that we all were still asleep at 6 a.m. while these youth were up doing their personal devotions.They are taught here at the church that if they do not do their devotions before breakfast they can not eat.

Fond memories of you asking people "Do you Trust God?" Then throwing them into the torrents of the wave pool :-) Thanks for making that time so fun. It took me by pleasant surprise to get to chill with them at a water park. We were able to connect because we all just wanted to have fun...good times! It made it easier to chat with people after just kicking it! Blessings!
