I feel like I’ve always had this mindset. To live for other people. To carry people with me. To know that I bring value to their lives. Though it may be my fatal flaw, I also see it as my greatest strength.

I’ve always treasured my relationships wherever I go. When I had depression, it was agonizing to know that I was a burden. That I was letting down all the people I cared about and all who cared about me.

At the same time, it fills me with so much purpose. To know that every title I hold, every identity, every relationship, all of it has a story which I cherish close to my heart. I bring them everywhere I go.

So even if it’s been a long time; even if we don’t know each other very well; even if we really just met a day ago, just know that you’ve made an impact in my life.

Whether you’re a college student, teacher, mom, artist, business owner, coach, fashionista, musician, athlete, whatever.

Whether you're my friend, family, ancestor, colleague, mentor, bunso, mentee, or future companion.

I genuinely cannot express how much I care (and how much sleep I sacrifice) for you.

And just know: I will pay it forward. The stories you’ve shared with me have their place in mine, and will impact so many other people as well.

“While I live, I want to shine. I want to prove that I exist. If I could do something really important… That would definitely carry into the future. No… Not just into the future. In my friends’ futures, too… My spirit has become part of them, I believe. In them, my spirit is alive. And that spirit could be passed along to others. And so, if I were to disappear… I think all that I have accomplished will go on. That is… That would mean… that it’s living, right?” - Grovyle, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Games

(Bet you wouldn’t have ever guessed what helped mold this mindset of mine)

"My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9)

With that, the YE#31 season comes to an end. When I said yes to being a Head Facilitator back in April, I had so many doubts, but I chose to trust in the Lord and let Him lead me in service to this community. The journey was not an easy one, but through God's grace, this weekend was made a success!
🩵 To the candidates - thank you for accepting the call to deepen your devotion to God at this retreat. It was incredible to witness your growth throughout the entire weekend. The openness, vulnerability, comradery, and willingness to engage yourselves in this community was something truly inspiring. I know God has great plans for you, and I hope to continue seeing you all at future BLD events!
🧡 To the Auxies - this weekend couldn't have been possible without everyone fulfilling their roles. I thank you all for your willingness to serve.
🩷 To my Understudies - Angela, Angel, Mathieu, and Darius - I couldn't be more proud of you guys! You've all come so far since Facilitator's Training back in May. I was amazed watching you develop the talks into your own and using them to connect with the candidates on a more personal level.
💜 To my Facilitators - Anne, Arnold, and Andres - thank you for always being there to support Mico and I. Thank you Arnold for the former head fed insight. Thank you Andres and Anne for sharing your stories, allowing the candidates to open their hearts to each other and to God. I know I can always count on you guys to not only get the job done, but to do it well.
💙 To my fellow Head Facilitator - Mico - I couldn't have asked for a better partner to share this experience with. For each of my flaws, you were always there to fill the gaps. You've seen me in the ups and downs during the weekend and the months leading up to it, and you’ve supported me through every step of the way. I don't know what I would've done without you!
🤍 Lastly, thank you Lord for allowing me this opportunity to serve you. Thank you for this BLD community, which is one I can call home.

I love you all! Here's to another Youth Encounter in the books!

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil" - Psalm 23:4

It has been such a joy to witness the Lord working in the midst of this community, especially last weekend at the YE #31 retreat. I'm so thankful to have been given the chance to serve again, and to have met all the wonderful candidates (you guys are genuinely all so cool, and we hope you keep coming back :). To the study team, praise team, and auxie team, it's been so fun working with you; the long days and late nights were worth it. I'm so grateful for the people, the prayers, and the constant reminder of just how lucky I am to be waking up every morning on a firm foundation. It might have been a rocky (stormy) road, but I wouldn't trade this for anything 💕

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence do not rely; in all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths."
(Proverbs 3:5-6)

Still can't believe YE #31 is done just like that. This weekend felt so long in a way that we did ALL of that in the span of Friday night to Sunday afternoon, but it felt so short too. I absolutely loved being on Study Team this year, and while I had my doubts at times with everything going on, it ended up being such an amazing experience for me. Thank you for making me feel affirmed 🫶

Thank you to all of my Study Team members for making this new journey an unforgettable one. Thank you to all of the auxies for the help all around from the sleepless nights, to the random conversations we'd have that'd make my day and make me smile (and last minute rehearsals/meetings/poster-making HAHA). And thank you to the candidates, for being so inspiring and for putting yourselves out there the way you did. I loved meeting you all and getting to know you. I can't wait to see everyone again (as we must not become strangers!!). I hope you all were able to find yourselves closer to God and are able to call this community a home, just as I have. From being a DYC (shoutout to DYC '26 🔥), to being in Praise (🥁) and Study Team, this was a LOT but absolutely worth it and I'm just so grateful for it all. These moments won't last forever, but the memories certainly will. Experiences like these are ones I always hold close to my heart, and I thank you all for that, and above all, I thank God for these wonderful gifts and continuous blessings.

And this is not the end!! Can't wait to see how we all continue to grow 🩷🙏

And with that, YE#31 is now complete. 💙

When serving for this retreat, I remember last year from when I took it. This new coming class made the experience all the better. I'm thankful to each and every one of the candidates who took part. Another thank you to all of the auxies for making this weekend possible. It has been such a roller coaster of emotions: laughing around, the skits and harana (shoutout sponsoring class and class sheps of YE#30), staying up for who knows how long, crying together, and uplifting our bond with our Father as a whole. Everyone has been amazing and despite me not being a candidate, I fell inlove with my faith all over again. ✝️

I hope to see you all in the future from side quests, Friday worships, upcoming reunions, to our next retreat YLSS#30. I look forward to being a class shepherd for such a lively and loving class. Enjoy the rest of your summer diving deep, making waves. 🌊

I was told to make an auxie post of ye #31 so I bring the post.

Honestly, the class of 31 was an amazing experience for both the candidates and the auxies and adults working there. Everyone showed their interest into the different talks and activities throughout the weekend and it showed. The amount of laughs everyone had, I just knew that we succeeded as a group to make these candidates have a closer experience to God. I love every single one of you guys and hope everyone comes back to the reunions and worships in the future!

youth encounter #31💙

Psalm 116:1-2: "I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live."

the past weekend was such a surreal experience. looking back at all these pictures with my fellow candidates, we all started out as strangers who were scared to be vulnerable with each other and with God but as we ended the weekend, we grew our faith together and become a family. thank you to every single person who made this encounter possible and i'm so glad i was convinced (special shoutout to aiden for introducing me thank you baby🤍) to take it and i had the best 3 days ever getting closer to the Lord. i have never felt so blessed, devoted, and loved so i truly thank this weekend for that. thank you to the BLD community for welcoming me with open arms and i can't wait to see what's in store for the upcoming events🕊️❤️‍🩹

Up next, come and see our next feature for #PeopleOfYE… ANGELICA ARGONZA!! Angelica’s outgoing personality and great sense of humor makes everyone feel welcome, and her passion for music definitely shines through everything she does! She’s definitely someone who leaves a lasting impression wherever she goes… but if you’d like to learn more about her, join us at the upcoming YE #31!

Here's what she has to say: "Hi, my name is Angelica Argonza and I'm part of the YE #29 class. I've been involved in the youth ministry ever since that Youth Encounter retreat, and I'm so blessed to have been given the opportunity to serve in this community that holds a very special place in my heart. BLD really feels like a second home to me, and I'm forever grateful for all of the blessings God has given me through this youth group. I've met so many amazing people who became some of my closest friends, and I can't wait to meet you guys and get to know you in the upcoming YE #31 retreat!"
