First Youth Group Meeting

We had our first youth group meeting last night and it went really well. We are starting completely from scratch. Father took us to the basement where we had Totus Tuus and I almost hyperventilated when I saw what had happened. The youth group room had be split into two rooms, the couches were gone, and there were tables in their places. I honestly thought, "No way is this going to work." Luckily, Father said that there was another option and took us to the basement of the church. It was damp and dirty, with boxes and Christmas trees all over, but it had potential. Father is giving us leave to do whatever we want with it. Thomas and I decided to let the kids have a major role in making it "their own" room.
The meeting itself went well. We got a little confused at one point with our notes but fell back in quite well. The icebreaker went REALLY well. We had certain characteristic written on a paper and they had to go around and find people with those characteristics. It was fun and we learned who was still afraid of the dark, who wore contacts, who was lactose intolerant (turned out no one was), etc.
Anyways, pray for the youth group. They are an amazing group of teenagers and I am really excited to work with them.
