The night of kick off was a lot of fun. Celebrating the return of our regular volunteers, it's amazing to see how many people offer their time and talents to pour into the kids' lives. What was most fun for me though, was before kick off started. All the staff gathered for pizza. It was so cool just to hang out with everyone and relax with them. Of course we all looked like clones, wearing the same shirts that supported the new theme for the year "A Story to Tell".
I'm pretty sneaky with a camera, which led to some natural shots of people just hanging out with each other.
Sheri and Erin in deep discussion about...something.
Two of my favorite people, but I do have a lot of favorite. This is Erin, the leader I worked with the most. I loved learning from her, not only in the way she challenged me, but also in hearing her heart, passion and vision for the ministry. Beth was my host mom or roommate this summer. She is so gentle and wise and with each conversation we had I walked away with a deeper understanding of life. They are both so awesome! I'll miss them a lot when I leave.
Another sneaky shot of Ralph (our security guy) and Beth.
This is Gail. She's the leader of the infants and toddlers here in
PML. She and her husband Phil have adopted me this summer and have poured into my life a lot. Though it sounds funny to say it...they've really treated me like a daughter. And just the simple blessing of buying me a cup of coffee or helping me with my car, Phil reminded me of my dad. Those qualities really mean a lot to me.
