The last few days have flown by at warp speed. On Friday I went with the Olde Forge children's program to the YMCA water park as a chaperone. Around thirty-five children and several leaders had a great afternoon in the pool followed by pizza and watermelon in the park.
Today I finally got to meet several of the youth involved in the LUCHA program, and we all went swimming for the afternoon. Afterwards, we had a group meeting which allowed everyone to give input as to what they would like to do during the summer. Some great ideas were mentioned including: a trip to the Holocaust Museum in DC, weekly trips to the pool, dance parties, pizza and cupcake making classes, and visits to local colleges. My excitement for this summer continues to grow and exceed my expectations!
Saturday was spent with my host family and several of their ministry colleagues. We were invited to a couple's riverfront home for dinner (which was delicious) and fellowship (which was a whole lot of fun). I met and re-met several wonderful people from the Olde Forge program and many others representing their local ministries.
