Continuing on one step at a time..

Do not complain about the lack of community that you may experience after leaving this one that you have been so engrossed in... instead, take what you have learned, become the leader, and start that community somewhere else.  

Pondering..

We just returned from our retreat in the mountains this weekend.  It was definitely a fun time, but also a time of processing.  Looking back on the past 3 months, I have learned so much in such a short amount of time.  I am still trying to process exactly what I have learned and exactly how I have changed.  I think that I will continue to learn in the months to come.

I leave for Africa a week from today.  My travels are coming up soon, and I am definitely getting excited!  I will be gone until June 2nd, and will have no communication (or very very limited) until I return.  No news is good news.  I am excited for the experience to come, as well as the challenges that lie ahead.  

More to come later this week before I leave..

San Diego!

We made it back to San Diego yesterday and have started to reunite with the other teams!  So good to be back!  So good.  The rest of the teams will get in tonight and tomorrow morning.  Only bad thing is.. we all have to leave each other in a week and a half.  Fun times lie ahead of story-telling from tour!
