Well gosh, all I can say is tonight was incredible! We raffled off an iPod Nano that all of us leaders chipped in to buy in hopes of drawing a crowd and it definitely helped! The room was packed. I think we're only going to fit at the Butler's for a couple more weeks, and that is just about the most exciting thing that could be happening! We had over 40 students tonight and the energy was off the charts! John Wulf lead us in an awesome game of how fast can you take off and put on prop clothes (over your own clothes, don't worry parents) and Reid Zucati lead us in some intense finger jousting! Tonight I had a simple message of "Come and See" and used the scripture John 1:43-46 in which Nathaniel asks Philip, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" (asking about Philip's claims of Jesus of Nazareth being the Messiah) and Philip responds, "Come and See." I asked our students tonight if they would be willing to come and see who we as leaders think Jesus is. It was a super fun night. Huge thanks to Mike and Joy Fargo for making us a delicious dinner! And as always, HUGE thanks to Mark and Rebecca Butler for allowing us to invade their home and make all sorts of noise! I am so blessed by this incredible community that has surrounded Sprague High School Young Life! Thank you all SO much!! -Mat

Noodle War!!!!
Well today was the second annual Sprague Young Life Noodle War!!! We had about 40 students and about 350-400 pounds of Top Ramen Noodles, and it was sheer insanity. A Noodle War, for those who don't know, is just an epic food fight with noodles. It was a great way to kick off the year and we'll be back for the excitement of Young Life starting next Monday! We had a BBQ, we had Noodles, we had Face paint, we had glitter, and we had smores, we had anything a person could want! Special thanks tonight to Charlie Marshall, Mike Fargo for making the delicious food! Thanks to all our Noodle Cookers: Haley Boese, Caitlin Marshall, Amanda Field, Sue Webb, Holly Collier, and Teresa Hancock! And HUGE thanks to Dave and Pam and Ally McVey for hosting us and being incredible! You are all so great and I'm so thankful for all of you! Stay tuned next week for an even more exciting update!!
