it's a WYLD life...

Last weekend, the Young Life Costa Rica team took 53 middle school friends from Wyld Life and some number of leaders to camp in the mountains of Costa Rica called La Cumbre. And I am still attempting to recover from the weekend of craziness! It changes things a little when you get back from a Young Life weekend and have to wake up at 6 am the next day to be at school. Guess I'm not as young as I used to be…sigh.

Anyways, the weekend was a great one. The camp had so many different activities to do throughout the day, low ropes and high ropes courses. In the morning and at night, we got to have good old fashioned Wyld Life club. Through club, our middle school friends got the chance to dance, sing, play, laugh and hear the Gospel of Christ from a speaker who actually paid his own way down here to come speak for the weekend.

After club, I got the opportunity to have "cabin time" with my fellow leader, Lindsay, and four crazy fun middle school chicas. We got to spend about 30-45 minutes talking about what the speaker said and what it meant to each one of them in their own lives. What a sweet experience it is to watch as my middle school friends pondered some pretty tough questions about their own faith and a relationship with Jesus. It is weekends like this that I am reminded of how sweet these ministries of Young Life and Wyld Life are and how happy I am to be a part of it.

Here are some pictures for you guys to get to see what the weekend was all about…enjoy!
