This weeekend we were asked by our church, and we agreed, to host two girls who are part of a Catholic group called NET. They are between 18 - 30 and dedicated their lives for a year to go around the country and offer seminars and retreats for Middle School and High School kids. They never know where they are going to stay... like the founding Apostles of our Church, they rely on the generosity of fellow Christians to house them.
They were in town for our Confirmation class and did a wonderful job. We met Maria and Jo (short for JoAnn) after LifeTeen Mass last night and took them out to dinner. We had a great time talking to them, about their journies and about their faith. They are both wonderful kids. They will stay tonight, then hold another retreat day, then stay over again Monday night, then head off to Fort Worth, Texas.
DC and Gabe gave up their rooms and stayed on the floor in our room. We all struggled getting a good night's sleep, but it's a small sacrifice to help support two wonderful kids living their faith.
