I never really enjoyed youth group when I was younger. I would rather go to the "big person service" than to be in a group of peers and play games, sing and hear stories from the Bible. But down here, one of my favorite times of the week is going to Younglife. I went on a walk with the Younglife group on Sunday which was really fun and about 6 of us go to the leadership meetings on Wednesdays to see how we can help out. And God is doing some amazing things in Younglife!

   So last Thursday (the 23rd), Jenner, the main leader of Younglife, asked at the end if anyone wanted to accept Christ in their life. 6 people raised their hands! It was such an amazing sight! Those 6 people gathered in the middle of the room and prayed with Jenner, with the rest of us simply praying and praising God. And then on Sunday, we had that walk which was a really great day- we walked to the top of this mountain, where a white cross was "planted" and we had messages across the way, as well as games. (Jenner was very, um, kind and "let" me lead a game- aka he announced without telling me that I was going to lead the game. It ended up okay tho- no one died). So then this past Thursday, we were split into 3 smaller groups and each group did a skit from a story or parable in the Bible. It is so entertaining to listen to some of the boys in Younglife- there's one who's name is Jose' and he is possibly the best ad libber I've ever heard. He'll keep going for about 5 minutes by himself and no one can stop laughing. Anyways, this past Thursday, at the end, Jenner again asked who would like to accept Christ and this time about 15 people went to the middle! It was so great!

   So, God is definitely moving thru Younglife down here! It's so exciting to see what is going to happen each week! If everyone could continue to pray for every person who comes to Younglife to have an open heart and open ears that would be amazing! Also, they are in need of more funds and would be interested in maybe being "adopted" by a Younglife group in the States- so prayers about that would be greatly appreciated!
