The youth group is divided into tribes. The tribes always sit together during the service. They also have a small group Bible study during the week. When the teams visit, we encourage them to sit with different tribes. So I haven’t been consistent with any tribe. Lately, I have been sitting with the boys in different tribes too.
Last week, a couple of different boys asked me which tribe I was in. When I told them I moved around, they wanted to know why I didn’t just pick one. I thought about it. I didn’t have any reason. Especially now, when I don’t have a group here. And Claudia and Arturo have offered to drive me home after their tribe meeting. On Saturday, I sat with some of the boys in Benjamin. Someone approached me and told me they were from Levi, but they wanted me to come to their meeting. So I agreed.
Tonight was the meeting. There were only about 15 of us. I REALLY enjoyed it. Made me miss my old small group a lot. At the end, we started talking about Christmas. They wanted to plan a special dinner together. They picked the day after the team arrives, meaning I wouldn’t be able to go. I was okay with that. I wasn’t going to ask them to change plans when I was at my very first meeting! But then someone turned to me and asked if I would come. I had to say no, and explained why. That started an uproar! The date of the dinner was quickly changed to make sure I would be there. It felt really good to be a part of this group.
Afterwards, Arturo, Claudia, and I met Karen for dinner. That was also a lot of fun and we talked about everything under the moon. I am blessed with magnificent friends!
