Surely we did more than eat...


This past week, we hosted another annual team from Canada. Every year, Global Youth Network sends us a team of student leaders to hang out with us in Modesto, learn about how we do outreach here and hopefully glean some useful stuff along the way. It was a great week but looking through my pictures, I'm having a hard time finding anything that doesn't involve food.

Of course, we started the week with our customary story telling tour of the places we have and do work in the city. And we end it at the taco trucks...of course...that's to be expected.




Yeah, but then we did a BBQ on South 9th Street



Well, yes...that's food too, I guess. Arley got creative and had his burger on a doughnut instead of a bun...



And Gilad and Trista gave it a shot...




But yeah, we did other stuff...like, uh, we...

Reconnected with the kids! Yes, we reconnected with our kids group in the Airport neighborhood...here we are playing soccer with the kids...



Right after we ate beans and rice with them at the park.




But seriously, we also did things like meet up with some ministry and initiative leaders to hear their heart for their neighborhoods. And the only picture I have of that is of the team picking grapefruit...to eat...



Ok, we ate. Alright, we admit it, we ate!



Oh, and we did take them into San Fransisco to see the sights...

Looks like so much fun! Food is a great way to make connections with people! I will have to jump on board some year and come visit too!
