The morning began with our counselors gathering in the adoration chapel for a half hour of prayer. It was a special moment to prepare themselves spiritually for the day, and to be ready to give generously of themselves despite any tiredness or fatigue we may have felt.
The day's highlights included laser tag, a World Cup match, and totally EPIC water gun wars!! Special thanks to David Crawford, our director, for organizing and orchestrating this great initiative!
In the evening, the boys were given a talk on friendship, and what it means to be a friend to others and a friend to Jesus. When asked what true friendship is, their responses included "loyal", "self-sacrificing", "sharing the same interests", and "wanting the best for your friend". Using the quote, "There is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend", Br Drew helped the younger boys to understand that Christ wishes to be their very BEST friend.
Before wrapping up for the day, Police Officer Plank came and talked to the boys about life as a policeman. Midway through though, he was interrupted by his radio. The police station was calling for backup, as the Decepticons had been spotted!! He left in a hurry. Counselors later informed the boys that the attack was expected to happen the following day!
