Week 4: Our Lady of the Lake and St. Catherine of Siena-Thursday

July 26, 2018

        

      Today was a celebration day and the last full day. We started out by going to church in downtown Bellingham, the church was very beautiful and had statues of saints. After that we came back to eat lunch which was all the left overs from past lunches. Later, we went to the pool to swim and take showers. Then, we left to go to a camp and have a barbecue. We had hot dogs and hamburgers to eat which happened to be very good. We played with the children at the camp for the last time and said our goodbyes. It was very hard for me to say goodbye to the girl I had been hanging out with for the past three days. We came back to the church and had a very deep reflection time and talked about our experiences with the Agape service project. It was a very eye opening experience for me and I was able to understand the reality of this world and how I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to go to school. We are currently having a dance party right now and everyone has ate their ice cream. In the end all of it was worth it and I have no regrets, I for sure will be coming back next year if I have the chance.

It's been an incredible week! We are very thankful for this group of youth and proud of all the work they have done. Thank you to all the adult leaders, youth, and communities that made all of this possible.
