Well, this week-end our youth had their Disciple Now retreat. This is the first one Alyssa participated in. She brought our old neighbor, Sarah, as well. From what I understand they all had a great time. The speaker was Dave Rhodes and the worship leader was Aaron Keyes. It is funny because Sarah LOVED Aaron and doesn't usually listen to Christian music but Alyssa didn't care for him and said she would prefer to hear a choir (which was a surprise to hear!)...
I prayed that Alyssa would get to know some of the other 7th grade girls better and Jody (her S.S. teacher and host home) said that she felt she did that. Alyssa said that she did too so that is a huge answer to prayer!
The Youth led worship with their band and Dave was the speaker this morning. He spoke about Daniel this week-end and how just because you live in this world you don't have to be of it and do what every one else does.
