Time Flies...

This past weekend was graduation for the LTD class of 2009-2010. It is so hard to believe that it is already a year since we graduated for this same exact internship!! The graduation ceremony was very nice...Ryan was able to help lead worship... our president, Dick Angelo, gave a great talk of encouragement... and many of us were able to pray over the students that we had been mentoring to over the year. Ryan and I have been blessed to come alongside a wonderful young couple, Abby Gustafson and Joe Beard, who are going to be getting married this May. What fun it has been to share with them....and to get filled up in the process!! All of these wonderful men and women have been a blessing in our lives in so many ways over the last year and it will be sad to see them go. God bless you all on your journeys!

Mother/Daughter Retreat

This past weekend was Mother/Daughter Retreat at Camp Forest Springs. Friends of ours from Hayward have been coming to this retreat for many, many years. This year they asked us to be "campers" and join them in their cabin. So Friday night the girls and I headed down to camp and stayed in Spruce cabin with them! What a wonderful time we had. Even though we could only stay through Saturday afternoon, we were able to enjoy MANY wonderful activities!! We sat in on Friday night and Saturday morning sessions. We made aprons during morning free time and watched the young ladies from Hayward do the high ropes course in the afternoon...facilitated by none other than Ryan!! :) It is truly amazing to share the ministry you work in with the friends you love!
