You...Wow, what an amazing, life changing weekend!! You are so sweet to do that for those girls. I know you will have an impact on them forever. I went on a weekend mission trip with our youth group one time, and the room we stayed in sounded just like that church. There was no heat whatsoever and it was probably 20° outside. That's really not right! They know everyone is coming and they should've been better prepared. There's no excuse for that. I'm glad you all still had a great time!From Ice Cream to Marathonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911974408263254818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-27707321492750502322017-02-06T19:22:01.096-05:002017-02-06T19:22:01.096-05:00As someone who works with middle school student on...As someone who works with middle school student on a daily basis I have to say I LOVE the message of the weekend. We have a lot of GREAT kids but then we have a lot that are like the kids in the experiment and feel that they are entitled. I truly hope this is something they grow out of because I hate to see our future when these children grow up. We already have enough of that in today's society and it certainly does not set a good example for our kiddos!<br /><br />I got teary eyed just reading about your prayer circle and praying for the girl on the left. We do prayers circles often in my family and I always enjoy hearing what everyone has to say. I bet it was just amazing to hear what came out of their mouths! Glad you had such a good time even thought you had to sacrifice sleep and warmth for a little while!Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-40394405090610966232017-02-06T15:28:51.168-05:002017-02-06T15:28:51.168-05:00I LOVE the Skittles story.

I love the skittles story too. One of mentors told me about an experience she had in India. If someone had a banana, they immediately wanted to share it with others versus eat it all themselves, even though they were likely hungry. Whereas we, first-world country people, would eat our share before even considering sharing. That story has always stuck with me. I'm sure the Skittles experience will be remembered by a few and change them too - and that's a good start.

Youth events like these are my favourite, I was part of one for jr.high/high school students when I was in university and it was the best. We did a 10 day 'at home mission trip' where we slept in the church and spent the days volunteering at different places around the city. It was five or six years ago now but I still have such fond memories of the whole experience!
