WEEK 3

The wednesday we got together at Pastor Matt's house and talked about our week and what is going to happen. We talked about our calling lists and about the upcoming events at the Warhouse. Most of the evening was spent just hanging out with the other youth sponsors and talking.
Later on that week Bekah emailed us all our calling lists to contact people. On friday I spent some time calling the kids and telling them about the upcoming service on Sunday. This is something that I really wasn't comfortable with and did not really enjoy at all. It just really took me out of my comfort zone and put me in a position that I was not used to. I am still adjusting to the youth group here and I am having a tough time not comparing it to the youth group I am used to back at home.
This sunday we had youth group at 6. There were more kids this week than last and I am connecting with more of them and am getting better at knowing their names. Interacting with them is getting easier week by week and I feel like I am establishing friendships with some of them. I am really getting to know the other sponsors which is helping out a ton. Overall this week I spent around 4 1/2 hours in the practicum between meetings at Matt's, phone calling, and youth group on Sunday.
