THEY CAME!
I can tell already this is going to be a great year.
These fellows are tight
And exuberant
ORIENTATION
The one picture we managed to get with everyone in it.
We journeyed down to Lake Norman for a few days of community building and diving deep
Morning time on the lake
We discussed our summer reading, including Adulting 101 with Pete Hardesty the author. Here he is praying for us.
Caleb taught us hand motions to My Lighthouse
We found some time to relax
We cooked good food
played some games
made some art
and so much more...we can't let you know about all our secrets!
