YouthWorks! Week 1


Hey,
My first two weeks at Youthworks are finished and it has been crazy busy. The first week we worked up in Red Lake, Minnesota and hosted about 80 students from all over the United States and it was a ton of fun. It has been about the busiest I have ever been. During our training week we stayed at a church. We have been sleeping on air mattresses and that is how we have been living all summer. The training lasted 1 week and was crazy. There was very little free time and just a ton of info thrown at us but I was able to meet some really awesome people and hear a lot of what I will be doing for the summer. Here are the cars we have for the summer although we did just trade in the small black pickup for a bigger one so that is pretty sweet.
This is our area staff. They are all really awesome and a lot of fun. hmm.. The picture is a little blurry though.
Here is a picture of a guy named Ben he reminded me a lot of a friend from back home named Mark a really awesome guy.

Here is our first group of youth all together on the last day. It was a week of a lot of learning for me. I had to do things like break up gang fights and lead worship lots of things that I have never done before but it was really awesome. I will have to up date about week 2 later since this battery is about to give out. Hope you all are doing well. Hope this gives you a little flavor of what I have been up to. Sorry for the choppiness of it. Its what happens when I am sitting in a car stealing internet with a computer that is dying. God Bless
