Today was very enjoyable and uplifting. Our first activity was morning prayer and stretches at 7:30 a.m. After that we ate breakfast, and then hikes to the location of the first talk of the day. While we hiked, we played a game called camouflage, which included hiding in dead leaves, corn, and soybeans. I did enjoy it, but it will never rank as a preferred activity for me.
The talk was given by one of the group leaders, Jacob. It was all about hope in times of darkness, and it was very well done. Afterwards, we had small group discussions, silent time, and Holy Mass, followed by lunch.
When lunch was finished, we had free time until almost 5:00 p.m. At this point, we had an activity where we were all randomly paired with someone else, and had a one-on-one, personal discussion with that person. This activity was very powerful. Following this , we ate dinner, then had Eucharistic Adoration and confessions. Confession was very moving, as it always is.
The scheduled events of the day ended around 9:30. At this time we were free to do whatever we pleased. I chose to play games with a large group of people. The games were fun, but I would've preferred simply talking to someone.
