My overall experience of NCYC 2019 was phenomenal. The setting of NCYC was very religious and serious, yet it was still a blast and had a lot of fun content. Some of the more serious aspects about NCYC included the masses held with 25,000 people, Adoration, and

the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Some fun things were concerts, trading hats with other kids, and using clothes pins to compliment others. One of the nights, we had Adoration with the entire group of NCYC in the Lucas Oil Stadium, and that is when I have felt God the most in my life so far. One thing that I will definitely do now is pray more and be sure to talk to God and tell him how my day was, as well as carry out a simple conversa-tion with him. A tweet that I would make about NCYC would be to encourage others to go. It was an absolute blast, and there isn’t a single reason not to go! I’d use the hashtag #thankyoujesus. I would use this because Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins. ~ Jake Miller
