I went out to Joe Tomato's and to the movies tonight with Fr Dave and another guy from work. Cool beans. Didn't have anything better to do anyway, and the new Bruce Willis movie is pretty good (which is always a bonus).
We were sitting around waiting for our food to arrive and Fr Dave (he's my boss) says 'You still do youth stuff with your church?'
Well, no, I don't. Youth don't exist in my church. We pulled the plug on the youth group a couple years ago because we were quickly running out of interested kids and, quite frankly, I was suffering from burnout.
Anyhue, he looks at me and says 'Wanna go to World Youth Day?'
Gotta say, I wasn't expecting that one.
'Umm... where is it?'
'Madrid. 2011. We need chaperons.'
Uh... Sure. I think I can handle a 9 day trip to SPAIN.
everything is different, everything is the same
2 years ago
Well that's neat.
ReplyDeleteYAY! That pretty much kicks butt as the best youth retreat ever! Will they pay for you?
ReplyDeleteSo, still going to England next year?
The first thing I thought was... if this ruins my trip to England, I'm not going. Then I heard it was in 2011, not 2010. So that was good.
ReplyDeleteNext question was 'Chaperons go for free, right?' To which he replied 'We'll do lots of fundraising.'
So... I hope it all works out!
I'll chaperon. I can do it. Really. I'm responsible and nice [and love Madrid]...
