On Friday was our first “official” jr youth, and it was a blast. True, it was scary, because I still feel like I don’t know many people and didn’t know where to go, but once we were in the right place things took off. There are about 30 kinds, and lots of boys with lots of energy! We were playing giant board games (trouble, checkers and spoons) and it was a good time. Once people were out of the game I was able to talk to a lot of them. It was really neat because they were madly running around, but once I sad down and started talking to them, they totally calmed down and we got to discuss things. I'm learning their names, and am very excited about the relationships forming.
Its good to feel needed because there’s not a ton of leaders, and its also cool because im younger and somewhat crazy (like the kids), and so hopefully can reach kids who might not talk to someone else.
My favorite part of the night was by the end of it, being able to name a bunch of youth (even when they started telling me made up names for a lot of them).
