Westlake Youth United

The young men and young women enjoyed a joint activity tonight focusing on unity. The evening started out with a short talk about unity by Cynthia. She used the following scripture during her talk, which sums up the goal for the evening:

John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

After the talk the youth sat down to dinner, where they were then tied up to each other by the wrist. This required the youth to work together to eat their dinner. They also were given one more rule, which was that they could not use their hands to eat their bread.
They were impressive in their unity. The groups even managed to get up from their tables and get seconds as a team all tied together. The youth were definitely united.

After dinner the youth had a relay race for dessert, jello. Apparently jello is not good when chugged. They then tied their hands in knots and had to untie it and end up in a circle. The final task was boys against girls. They held hands and had to move a hula-hoop stuck on their arms around the circle. The girls beat the boys by a fraction of a person.
All-in-all the youth became more united. We had a great time eating, playing games, and becoming more united.
