Saturday June 10th 3 Agee’s, 2 Robinson’s, 2 Spanglers, and a whole pile of luggage packed up early and headed to Campamento Converge outside of Tegucigalpa for a week long youth retreat for MKs(Missionary Kids).
This past week I was a part of the Retreat Staff where I was involved in several different activities which include, but not limited too; being a chaperone in 1 of the boys rooms for the week, being in charge of daily game time, operating the projector with the words for worship, leading small group discussions, and other various tasks. It was really good to be a part of this past week, and to take the time to invest time into these youths lives.
Leighanne and Hannah were blessed with the opportunity to go on this trip, and I would like to allow them a chance for them to tell you about their experience.
The MK Retreat was a great opportunity to make new friends who were just like me. To go into more detail, I was spending most of my time with people who were going through the same obstacles and struggles that I was going through at some point. Not only that but, I had this amazing time playing guitar with Ella and Mr. Jim on stage for the worship time. In addition, we had an amazing speaker who was nailing everything about my life at that moment. To clarify, it made me realize that I wasn’t the only one that was going through that struggle and how God worked it out in her life. In the end, it was such a relaxing retreat that made me notice that the other MK’s go through many struggles also and that God will work all of them out.
The MK retreat was fun. My favorite parts were crafts and worship. I really enjoyed the speaker, she was very open with us. I liked being away from the normal every day life, and having this time to just have fun, and not have responsibilities. I can’t wait until next year!
Here is a video the recaps the week that I made, I hope you enjoy it!
Also Happy Father’s Day!!!
In Him,
