Had a good first day here. The team arrives Tuesday night so I’m here figuring out the lay of the land a bit plus getting over jet lag and having 2 days to unwind after a busy first part of the summer.
Thanks to a friend’s recommendation I’m staying in a hotel very close to the ocean. I’ve gone on a couple long walks already.
I can’t wait for the team to get here. It’s a pretty amazing group of students and I’m really looking forward to hanging out with them and the other leaders. To get to experience the Biblical stories in an entirely new way with a bunch of friends is really cool.
It is interesting to bring a group here who grew up in the Bible Belt and “know” all the stories. I’m praying that we are all changed by walking where those stories happened.
I love being a youth pastor and getting to do something like this.
