Two weeks ago I left with some teens from my youth group and traveled to Queens, New York. In Queens was a church in which we stayed during the week. The first thing we did was go to Stop & Shop, and it was there I got hit by the pitiful and painful reality. One of those "Toto, I don't think we are in Boston anymore" kind of realities. In Stop & Shop was a whole shelf full of Yankee paraphynalia (gag) Well, after I got over that shock I enjoyed traveling the New York subway system with my group, singing hymns in the tunnels, and watching the guys preach on the sidewalks. We handed out tracts and literature about the Reckers church in Manhattan. Almost every stranger I personally came in contact with swore at me ( well except for the gay dude who was actually quite nice) but others had better luck than me and got to lead some to Christ. After walking around in 100 degree weather, we would go out for an activity. One evening it was just Dunkin Donuts. Another night it was Ground Zero. One evening we went to the Empire State building, and from there we took a limo for $5 a person to Times Square!!! It was definately a highlight when Pastor Brian rolled down his window and shouted to passerbys "Oprah Winfrey is in here! Im rich and famous!"All in all the week was a total success even though we had a couple girls nearly faint from dehydration.
Then 1 day after I got back I left for North Carolina for camp! Yeah, I was kind of tired :o) Camp had way to many details to fit into here so instead I'll give my bestest memories:
5. Cool Beans (coffee shop) with my friends
4.The stairs ( about 1,000,000,000 total)
3.The cheering2.The preaching
1. The soccer! (Yeah Katie)
