The flooding back home has definitely not reached us here. The temperatures have been SCORCHING! This past week was spent in Monessen, Pennsylvania at another YouthWorks! site at what is called early bird. 4 different staff groups come to one site to practice the programming together. The week was spent hanging out with youth while they were doing service and participating in some awesome evening activities. Even though the mornings were early and the days were jammed packed, it was an awesome week! I am lucky to have the opportunity to be able to interact with the adults who serve as leaders of the trip. They are some amazing people who give up a week of their summer to spend long hours with teenagers. For some of them, they are youth pastors or youth group leaders, but others were asked at the last minute to come because they needed an extra adult. One of the adult leaders was saying that he really liked working with his hands and had a hard time being at kids club because he had to take a back seat role. But he then said that he realized it wasn’t about him at all, but about the youth and about how God was working through them. Pretty great perspective if you ask me! Now we’re back in Steubenville for one more week of prep before a group of about 50 people arrive!
