Superstore

Why did I title by blog Superstore you may ask? Well, because I had my first experience at one today. I also made my first purchase. I bought pj pants (yes it is a grocery store but they have Joe clothing! :)) that were only 8$!!! I needed them for the tour... at least I justified it ahaha :)

Today was a good day.

To start it off, we went to the office (like everyday) for nine a.m. We had a session with the director named Claude. He gave us a two hour presentation on what FLN is.

After that we studied Psalm 139. Let me just start by saying this is one of my favourite passages. What our assignment was today, was to rewrite it in our own words and how it applies to our life. If you haven't done this, I would highly suggest it. I find it very incredibly inspirational. ANYWAYS i really enjoyed that! :)

After finishing that and a fifteen twenty minute lunch session, we had a speaker named Tim Houck. He talked to us about teenagers of the NOW generation and how to speak to them and all that fun stuff. The crazy thing is that really was interesting was that he teaches the same way to college people as he does to jr youth people. When people are in Jr youth they are just given responsibilities and stuff but when your in high school your trying to act all cool and mature... which normally is taken to far and results in being more mature than a forty year old in some cases. When you are college age however, everything is new and more responsibilities pop up. Therefore, you need to teach young adults with the same method as a jr youth. Crazy huh? This afternoon he also taught us how to speak. Its crazy that I am actually being taught how to speak in front of others like "preaching". I find that really crazy and cool at the same time.

Grocery shopping then arrived. Joy. aha... enough said.... -_-

This evening I read and read and read. I HATE READING! good book, but I hate reading. I read a total of about 50 pages of a very in depth book. SOO interesting... :/ oh well.. Title? "Becoming Human"

Tomorrow we are off to a prayer retreat at St. Benedict's Monastery. Should be good times seeing its at a monastery..

Anyways! Bed time!
