Just got home a few hours ago from our youth group service weekend in the Silver Valley (East of here, before Montana. little known fact: the town where dante's peak was filmed).
anyway, it was a great time with the kids. I've forgotten what it was like going on trips like this: forgot to pack my sleeping bag and pillow (which i forgot altogether) and towel in a plastic bag with my name on it, forgot flip flops for the shower, forgot the part about how hard it is to fall asleep with all the crazy all nighters running around the gym still playing basketball... etc.
But it was different going as a leader. It was cool to sit back and watch the kids in certain sitautions and how they were going to respond. It was so neat to see them so excited to serve people they didnt know in Jesus name. And it was fun getting to know more kids and more leaders just in general.
Well we got home around 4 and have just been sleeping since. Looks like stacking wood is harder on your bod than i thought it was going to be.
ps. i'm sure we'll be tagged in some pictures on facebook soon so you can see.
pps. also, Frank Peretti lead worship at our church plant out there. I was a bit starstruck while singing.

So now I know why I couldn't get through on your phones :)
Wow...it sounds like a fun yet exhausting weekend. These kids are SO lucky to have you two as their youth leaders!!! Thanks for being faithful and giving your time and talents.
I hope that you finally caught up on your sleep!
