A Young Mens Weekend

So, at church I work with the young men, and it was a young men's weekend. I was set to go camping with the priests on Friday, bu on Thursday it rained harder than it has in a year, so we cancelled the camp out portion and just got up early and met at 5:30 on Saturday. We ate eggs and bacon for breakfast (together) and then drove out to Needle Rock Park for a few hours of paintball. The rangers eventually kicked us out, but not before I got to terrorize my boys. Apparently, there is some rule against shooting firearms while defenseless folks ride through the park. Who would'a thought?
Below you see Charlie, after I shot him.

After paintball with the priests, Jen and Abby and I attended a baptism for Vincent, a 14 year old convert. It was nice to go to church in something other than a white shirt, for once. I always feel like I should wear white on Sundays. How can I ask the youth to do something I wont? But for the baptism, I broke out the blue shirt. I cant wait for school to start so I can have to wear more nice clothes. During the summer I just sit around in shorts and a T-shirt, but that wont fly when I'm teaching class.
Jen posed with Abby too. Aren't they cute?
Then Abby tried on a bonnet for church on Sunday. She is adorable (and if you don't think so she'll step on you with that giant left foot)!

We also had some friends over for dinner last week. Sarah and DJ are on the left, and Niki and Trent are on the right. They work with the young men.
