Young single Adult Conference

In September, we were asked if we could help out at YSA conference as there is only one couple in Albania at the moment for  YSA's and helping hands were needed. It was held in the south of Vlore by the Adriatic sea, what could we say??

                           Four couples went, and we had 70+ 18-30yr olds from Albania and Kosova.

They had a fantastic 3 days. I was assigned as the nurse for them all, and fortunately, the  only casualties consisted of several of the boys with sea urchin prickles in soles of feet......

.....and a minor finger injury  from volleyball!

As well as swimming, eating, classes, dances etc. they also did a service project on another beach.

No one complained about this 'classroom' which was on the balcony of the hotel looking out to sea!

 It's great being around these kids, they have so much energy and enthusiasm.

Most of the kids who came to the conference are members of the church and some brought friends as well. They all paid a small donation to the cost and the rest was subsidised. The Church is very well organised to be able to support activities like this for the youth, due to voluntary contributions received from members of the church worldwide in the the form of  tithes and offerings.

We were tired at the end, and decided that humanitarian work is definitely the best choice for us!
