The convention finished and we stayed to the very end. Tic, Carla and Marko said their good-byes and we walked out of the convention center into a very cold November afternoon. We wondered around until we found the safety of a Starbucks and hid there until we got desperate enough to get to the airport. I usually can’t afford the plane ticket that gets me out of town in the early afternoon, so it is the late in late out track for me. We are desperate to get to our families.
The airport did afford us a great time to talk about what we had taken in at YS. During the talk a switch turned in my head and I have an idea for a student I work with at LC. I am thinking of having him lead the prayer time before our small group. The thought is to have him take the requests, right them down, pray for them and follow up the next week. He is a seventh grader and really needs to have some of his energy channeled in a constructive way.
All in all I will not come back to a YS/YFC convention unless I have my wife, or other volunteers to share this with. To come by myself or with only other professionals is no longer useful or productive. There is too much time spent pinning for the company. Besides she is an experienced volunteer and could in a matter of months have a fully functioning club up and running. With that I am going to recommend to YS a few ideas.
I might post them later.
