So... it´s been a while...

Hey folks! I know it´s been forever since I´ve written on here and I´m really sorry. I´m gonnga try and do better.

Well, let´s just say that RECH is in full swing. The past two weeks we´ve been meeting to plan our activities for the year ahead and it looks like it´s gonna be good times.

At the end of this month we´re going to have an event in which all the youth (including me as the leader) stay in the church for 24 hours without eating or sleeping. I gave the idea to Fernando and Rebecca as something our youth group had done in the us (30 hour famine) and they loved it imediately. It´s the first event that I´ve been fully in charge of planning so I´m a little nervous about it, but mostly excited (because it seems like the youth are excited, it´s at least creating a lot of buzz).

From this month on, every month, we´ll have our RECH club (basically a wednesday night youth meeting like we have in US, but supersized and on saturday instead), and a mini-concert from a local Christian group (yes there are many) every thrid month.

I´m also in charge of planning two service experiences for the youth this year which will take place in April (local) and July (in Olinala, Guerrero - in my last month). So yeah, more to plan, but should be cool.

Finally, the youth will have their most exciting events - concert and camping trip - in August and November after I´m gone (tear). Yes, they have already used these as leverage to try and get me to stay and I´m sure it will contniue, but I´m already quite certain I´ll be returning to the US come July (so don´t fret).

So this is what the year ahead looks like for me. This is way belated but I´m gonna say it anyway. Feliz Navidad y Feliz Año Nuevo! Espero que todos ustedes estén bien contentos. Let me know what you´ve got planned for the new year. Don´t let it get away.

Peace,
Dan
