Two days ago, the first ever Young Life event went down on the island of Puerto Rico. We invited high school students from all over the San Juan area to come out to a night of Young Life madness. We rented out an entire theatre, watched a movie, had random dance parties, played hilarious games and took part in the usual YL craziness! Kids from over 8 different high schools came and everyone had a blast! It was really cool to see these kids who so often struggle under the pressure to perform and achieve just get to have fun and be kids. For a couple of hours, they didn't have to worry about anything.... except finding a way to win a free YLPR t-shirt! We've had nothing but positive responses from parents and kids about the night. Matt and I, along with our volunteers, can't wait to see how this builds momentum for us heading in to our first real club- which will happen in a couple of weeks.
Other exciting news.... Young Life Puerto Rico tank tops and t-shirts are here! They look sweet... and I guess this means we're pretty official now. Want to wear one? Ask me how...
Thanks so much for all your prayers for Monday and just in general! More stories to come soon!
Love,
Lindsay
Miss you Linds! Praying that God will surprise you with a great time as Matt leaves to come back to TX. But could there be any chance you can just hide somewhere in the suitcase ;) Love you!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I would LOVE to wear one of your sweet YL tank-tops! And I'm also in the process of sending you a package! But sadly, the C.S. Lewis books fell through....
