Tani, good luck with your advice. The Elders have been trying (not very succesfully with these two).

This was an awesome retreat. We were divided into a guys group and a girls group, but we spent mealtimes, adoration, game time, and praise and worship time together. Our girls group was so fun! We had a "love fest" yesterday, where we all sat in a circle and just told one person at a time all the things we loved about her. There wasn't a dry eye in the place! We also had tons of candy (to teach us about temperance, of course.) And we played some hilarious games, and we danced, oh, how we danced!!!

As for the Jesus aspect, adoration of the Eucharist was incredible. Out of the 20 kids on retreat, 16 of us rested in the Spirit (not ever to be confused with passing out.) And one of my friends had visions! It was so beautiful!

ETA- I also got hit in the face with a soccer ball during one of our games. And my friend Katherine rested in the Spirit and fell on top of my head. But it was still fun.

That's so awesome... It almost makes me want to convert.

I'll be your friend!

Heck, I'll be the best kind of friend- the kind that makes you laugh and occasionally embarrasses you but can usually cheer you up!

You ARE awfully good at that.

But you're good at the rest of it, too.

To all you folks who are still stuck in winter... 80 DEGREES HERE! Neener-neener-neeener!!

The even younger Youngers are all outside in the swimming pool. And by swimming pool, I mean an old stock tank we have in our yard.

Did you clean the algae out of the stock tank?

Eh, most of it...
