As you may know from reading past posts, I am a younglife leader at Turpin High School. Over the past year its been very slow and averaging only around 5-8 people each week for our weekly bible study with the kids. That was until 4 weeks ago. Four weeks ago we had 11 and that was awesome, it was our biggest campaigners ever. The week after that we had 20! Then we had a week off, and last night there was 29 kids there! Some kids neither me or Celina had ever seen or talked too. There was one kid there named Sam who walked in in a big black trench coat, gothic shoes, and some makeup on. I’m not sure how or why he came but he did. I talked to him for a long time after campaigners was over. He heard about it at school and wanted some people to hang out with. Most of the time people ignore him and think he’s weird but when he came to hang out with us he said he felt like people really wanted him there. He had a hapyy bunny shirt on too that was just hilarious. Thats how I broke the ice with him was telling him how awesome his shirt was. We all hung out in the Johnson’s basement for awhile but as soon as we saw it starting to get out of hand, we started moving everyone out. The sign that it was getting out of hand was that the girls started getting into Mrs. Johnsons makeup and things and trying to put them on the guys. We rounded up all that stuff and put it back. It was a great night and I can’t wait for Thursday. . . Bigger and Better!
