Big Print by Rachel (a pilgrim)

(Rachel hit some button on the computer that made the print REALLY BIG and we can’t figure out how to change it.  But Rachel has a big personailty so we felt it was appropriate to keep the BIG PRINT!)

Our J2A Group went on a car ride around Cape Breton to the Highland Village, a recreation of Scottish life on the island over the last 200 years. At the village, we learned about the old Scottish culture from the 1800’s and how the natives came over from Scottland. After our drive back home, we started a camp fire and sat around the fire pit making smores and talking about what was in our metaphorical “backpacks.”

I really liked talking aroud the camp fire. We got to get to know ourselves and each other alot better. Many of us hadn’t shared what was burdening us in a very long time and it was very ?. Making smores was also a very tasty treat! The camp fire was important to our pilgrimage because it gave us time to talk about what has been burdening us throughout our busy lives. Releasing all this negative baggage is going to give us a chance to focus on finding a relationship with God and ourselves and start this new school year with a fresh, new perspective.
