Elijah speaks

While in New Orleans there were thousands of great and memorable moments but one of them really stood out. During the week there was this boy that came with us to Challenge Circle the two days, and tagged along in some of the stuff we did. His name was Devonte and he was really excited to go. The first time I met him he was extremely friendly and had an attitude of gratefulness in everything he did. I thought it was amazing that a kid who had known me for not more than an hour had already become friends with me. This struck me as the attitude that Christ would want me to have everyday, in every enviornment that I am in.

One gift that was definitely shown to me when we were at Challenge Circle was that I love working with kids younger than me, and just showing them God's love.

The biggest thing I learned those five days was there are people that are waiting for us to love and help them, and we should do our very very very best to get out there and provide them this affection.
