"Holy Haircut Batman", this is our last blog of the year! Batman and Robin here, also known as Meghan and Adele writing to you live from our underground layer, also known as our host family's basement in Belleville, Ontario.
What a week it was, evangelizing youth in the Kingston, Ontario diocese. Tears were shed and lives were saved as we once again foiled the plans of the evil one. It started with a bang as we got into our bat mobile and headed to the Battawa ski hill lodge (BATawa, BATman, we knew God was calling us here for a reason). The day consisted of about 100 grade ten students eagerly waiting to see what a NET Encounter Day was and what we had to offer. They were really into the song and really respectful. They came into small group with open minds and open hearts. All in all it was a successful day.
Another Mission that stood out to us was in Trenton, Ontario. We knew as soon as we started talking with the youth that God would make His presence known, and that He did. During the prayer time I (Adele) went up to one my small group girls and asked if it was ok if I prayed with her, she told me I could but asked me if I could do HER a favour, she asked if she could pray with me, I told her that would be great so I said I silent prayer for her first and following my prayer, she held out her hand and put my hand on top of hers and said a beautiful prayer out loud for me. It was such a blessing to experience God working in her heart and at the same time reveal Himself to me through her. While this was going on, the line for confession was nonexistent until one boy stepped up to the plate and went to confession. After that, the line for confession started to grow immensely, YAY GOD! At the end of the Encounter Day one of Meghan's small group girls came up to her and said that she didn't want us to leave and that she really enjoyed the day. We really feel like God has been speaking through us to the youth and vice versa, we have been truly impacted with the way God has used the youth to impact us.
Saturday brought us the lovely city, and my home town, Ottawa,Ontario, where we put on an Encounter Day for 6 youth who were being confirmed. It was really nice because we got to know the youth a little bit deeper. They were really great to talk with and we shared many laughs with them. We traveled back to Kingston, Ontario that same night where we stayed with the Sisters of Providence. It was such a marvelous stay, we got to have great conversations with the sisters and after doing God's work and saving the world from the evil one, we celebrated Christians unbirthday! His unbirthday included lots of sunshine, the beautiful waterfront and the building of epic sand castles. Christian really enjoyed the day and we all really enjoyed getting wicked tans, or in my case, a wicked sunburn!
Happy unbirthday Natalie!! We spent a lovely evening in the park, painting with water colours and playing frisbee. It was nice to be able to relax and spend our time together enjoying God's beautiful creation.
We can't believe it's already been a year, time sure does fly. We are all very sad to be wrapping up our ministry and having to leave each other will be very hard. It's true what they say about your team being your family. Even though we will be parting, through God we will always be united.
Thank you for all your prayers. God has truly blessed us with wonderful people who are supportive of our ministry.
God bless!
Da na na na na na na na Batman and Robin. (Team 2)
