THE WEEK
Monday - We had some killer lasagna at Jayson and Tracy Grogan's house. It was a really sweet night. I talked about emptying your cup and serving from the saucer. We welcomed a prospective Fellows candidate. And we celebrated Jacob Pardue. (His birthday was Sunday). A great night was had by all (except Hef - who was down and out with the flu all week - insert sad face)
 |
| Jayson and Tracy's comfy chair |
Tuesday's highlight - Was a visit from Fellows Alum Julia Schaffner!
 |
| Peas in a pod |
Julia and Reese (also a Fellows alum) live in Peru and work with a teaching agency as well as Young Life in Arequipa.
 |
| David was off of school so we went to Surge and had the place basically to ourselves |

Wednesday - a full day...
We went straight from an interview to Leader Lunch with Robert Egleston.
 |
| Robert and the gang |
Robert Egleston, the Executive Director of Leadership Winston-Salem, has such a great story. He is the epitome of a networker in all the best ways.
He has a natural gift in taking interest in everyone and putting their needs above his own. What a talent! Thank you Robert for sharing your wisdom with us.
 |
| Robert and Brianne discuss important topics like life |
 |
| Jessica Baker and friend Sam Bishop (from college) |
Sam was out interview - we invited him to come along to lunch and he said yes!
After Leader Lunch the Fellows had a short break before afternoon Bible Study. During that break, we received some great news: Haley Westervelt got into her first choice med school: Wake Forest! which also means she will be sticking around Winston-Salem a bit longer! Woo Hoo!!!
 |
| Beth Hilliard was prepared with some champagne on hand |
 |
| Hooray for Haley |
 |
| God answers prayers! |
 |
| It is fun to celebrate but it is funner to celebrate with friends |
