We''ve pretty much learned that I stink at time management, and with that, getting this updated on a regular basis. But here goes:
Serve just ended today. For those of you who don''t know, Serve is a group of 9+ youth groups from the Converge NW (formerly the CBC) with a total of around 200 to 250 people. It was a blast. They rent out a campsite in one of the neighborhoods that we build in often, and pitch up quite a few tents, have an incredible worship team and an even more incredible kitchen staff (they were so awesome!) It was a little different from the rest of the summer in that it was a two day build as opposed to a one day, and that the grupos weren''t living in the dorms.
This summer has been great so far, I can''t believe it''s already halfway gone! If I was supposed to update you and haven''t, just email me and I will.
We have staff retreat this week, kicking off with church in San Diego at Claremont Emmanuel. Yay! Church in English! I get to understand the preaching! I DO love church in Tijuana though. It''s great and SO welcoming! A couple weekends ago, Mark and Carson played at a youth fundraiser event for the Deborah House. Being able to spend the day with the youth from a couple different churches at an event was a blast.
Aside from that, sorry that this is so short, and next time it WILL be sooner!
And for those of you who were wondering, I get back into Portland the evening of the 21st.
Love you all!
