Week 4: Sunday- Christ The King

Today we reflected on why we came to Agape this week, what we wanted to get out of this experience, how we can help the people around us, what were our weaknesses / strengths, and what we were leaving behind at home. A lot of people came to Agape because they already had experience but the new people said that they wanted to get a new perspective at wanted to get challenged. More than half of the people in the groups said that what they wanted to get out of this experience was to get to see how grateful you should be to have all the stuff you have and to realize that all of the complaining you do over little stuff you do like how old your phone is and that you want the newest iPhone, but a lot of people can't even afford a phone at all! People that we see at the migrant camps are so happy with what they have! They may have a broken Barbie doll or a flat soccer ball but they still have the happiest smiles on their faces when they play because they truly appreciate what they have. Things that people said for how we can help the people around us and at Sacred Heart was to be respectful to people and to put people around us before us like with food and bathrooms. People's weaknesses and strengths were some like being patient and helpful to other people and and weakness was really working in the sun or grumpiness when waking up early. And last but not least is what we were leaving behind at home was a lot about technology. During this week we will leave our "little electronic world" to see how much stuff is really going on like people may be starving or tragedies like the Oso Mud Slide where people were left with nothing.
