On the plane 2.0

 

We are on the plane

 

 

Heading Home

Well, after a VERY late but incredible and awesome night (and into the morning), we are heading home. We are tired, but it is a good tired. We are sore, but it's a good kind of sore. Most importantly, we are connected...connected to our friends in Merida, connected to one another and connected to our Heavenly Father as we've witnessed His power, grace and love pouring through each person on this trip. We are almost at the Cancun airport...can't wait to see our friends and family!

 

Time to debrief - Late night Friday

Each year we take time to "debrief" and talk through what we learned during the week, what God has shown us individually, and also to encourage one another in the Lord. Wow...these students and leaders have been hearing from the Father. Of course, before we get to the sharing, we must have what has become an annual event called the "Paper Plate Awards". The leaders get together and write something funny or meaningful (or both) that stood out during the week on paper plates. I could give a few examples but there is really no need, just ask one of the students about their award (there is usually a story behind it). Due to confidentiality restrictions, I will not share how late the session went...ok, there are no such restrictions, but if I disclose that information you would think we're pretty insane leaders (and you would be correct). See you soon.
