Had a super hard time waking up today because of how late I slept yesterday (or technically this morning). Definitely something I need to work on soon, sleeping earlier and getting rest.
After breakfast we talked about volunteer orientation and how to interact with coordinators and churches. How to get an idea of where the church is in terms of spiritual growth, etc. That took until lunch time.
After lunch we went for the last bit off on field training, and played some world cup with each other.
Later we went back to the lodge and Bev gave us all an hour to just meditate on John 15 so we could discuss later. I remember Jason pointing out that the chapter title was called the "the true vine" which implies that there are many false vines in the world. It was a good time of reflection for me, to see what are some of the vines I have attached myself into, that are not bearing fruit. Vines that I need to cut myself away from. Also to focus on the vine that does allow me to bear fruit, which is Jesus, and to allow God to prune me so that I will bear even more fruit.
After dinner we presented coach's corner for each day, went through the skits and memory verses etc.
Later we all sat around the lodge and Bev told us to provide encouragement for each other. So we went around the whole group discussing every individual's strengths and spiritual talents. I found it to be quite helpful, and I was able to realize some of the talents and gifts God has blessed me with. It was just a time of great encouragement for everyone. After we finished that, our coach training had concluded.
Only one more sleep til home time, and tomorrow morning is just hanging out
