So I spent my weekend speaking for nor*cal 2006, a spiritual retreat for Korean youth groups from northern Cali. Why they would chose me a Puerto Rican to talk to them I don't know but we still had a great time. The theme of the weekend was "The Gospel According to John" so I focused on the book of John (well duh). Friday night I started of by looking at Jesus' first miracle and what that event teaches us about the character of Jesus and thus of God also. Saturday morning the talk was about the woman caught in adultery (John 8) and the fact that Jesus came to save us and not condemn us. Sat. Night we focused on the fact that the book of John is a love story, a story about God's love affair with us. 
The weekend was a blast the group was a wonderful group with lots of energy and a passion for Christ and young people. They made me feel so loved and appreciated. I even learned a new game, the egg game. In this game you take a bunch of eggs and you hard boil half of them and leave the rest raw, then you take two combatants who chose one egg each and bust them over each others head and the result is a very funny egg duel. I also got to catch up with a good friend of mine Joel Shin. Well stay tuned on Tues. We find out the sex of the baby and hopefully I can post the first picture of our child.
