St. Noel- Joe

This is Joe (Sly Joe) coming in from Buffalo, New York to talk about my group bonding. I go by Sly Joe because then people can get my name memorized easier, and to differentiate me from other Joes, and because I'm sly. The group bonding and recreation time at YNIA was spent with many of the groups generally staying with other people from their parish. However, I decided to try and generally stay away from my parish to mingle with other parishes. This helped other people break the barriers put up by the youth in each parish. Another plus is I meet way more people and learn way more from teens in other states and parishes than just St. Noel. All in all, the people on this mission trip make the service more cheerful and the religion more meaningful. Signing off with Sly Joe.
