Young Life on the Roof

Every week I volunteer with Young Life club. The other week I got a panic phone call saying we couldn't meet in our normal location 3 hours before club was suppose to start. So I offered up our apartment for the club, which is only 5 minutes away. Normally there are about 15 Czech students who come, many are nonbelievers. This week, of course at a time when we have a lot less room, we had 15 people from a youth group in Bath, England to help out with our club in English. 30 people did not fit into our living room at all, so we had to take it to the roof. There were games, singing and a message about Jesus saying "I am the bread of life." The video is a song our visitors from Bath sang for the students (and our neighbors). It was awesome and an experience none of us will soon forget.

note to self . . .

Trying to swim competitively after no training at all for four years - not the best idea I've ever had ; ) Next time you should practice and beware that 100 meters is a lot longer than you remember.
Love,
