First weekend!

Hey guys!

So the weekend is winding down. It was jam-packed with stuff to do though! On Saturday morning we had a large group meeting to get us pumped and ready for beach evangelism. We looked at why what we're doing is important and also ran through some scenarios that might come up. I was, to put it lightly, terrified of walking up to people and talking to them. I was paired with my d-group leader, Sarah. We went down to the beach and just took a deep breath and jumped right into it. Most of the people we approached were really interested in what we had to say. Most of them were already believers but we got to talk to a few who weren't. It was interesting to hear people's feedback and just get to know them a little better. Definitely didn't turn out to be as intimidating as I expected.

Today we went to the church we were assigned. It's First Baptist Church of Gulf Shores. The service was great! They did a recognition of all the servicemen and women that were members in honor of Memorial Day. The sermon was really good, too. It was titled "I Choose to Stand". The pastor talked about how we should choose to stand a make a difference for Christ in the world around us. Pretty cool to hear because that's sort of why we're all here this summer! :) Until next time...
