We Are Off!

Just thought I would leave a quick post before we head out. We had our welcome orientation last night and things went really well. Everyone made it in safe and they are all really excited to be here for the year.

We head out in just a couple hours for our week in the wilderness. We will be doing some group initiatives, ropes course, climbing, and then some backpacking to kick off. We are really excited because we know this to be such an excellent way for the group to really bond quickly and learn to work together.

Please pray for our trip, most of the people aren't used to the altitude yet. Pray that there will be great bonding and community. Pray that the Lord would go before us and set the tone for this coming year in the program.

love

Craziness!

Wow! It took a little while for us to put another post on here. Sorry.

Things have been a little crazy and busy lately, but it is good. The people for Advance arrive this week! We cannot believe it is here already. Almost everything is in place for the first few weeks and we are busy doing final touches this week.

Also, I (Debby) am working part-time in the bookstore in the castle at Glen Eyrie. That is going well.
The brochure for the summer trips should go to the printer tomorrow! It will be a relief to have that huge project done as well as it is exciting to have a new brochure.

Please pray that this first week of Advance will kick off well. Pray that the Lord would be in it all and we would have a good start and some great teambuilding during our wilderness trip the first week.
