6 Days, Summit, and Disney World.

I have been going non-stop. No, really. I came home from Scotland and had 6-ish days before I left for Summit. During that time, I went to Lawrenceville for debrief at MTW, saw Katie, Baxter, Chris, and Rachael, and didn't sleep nearly enough.

I headed to Staff training at Summit. It was w wonderful time of bonding and learning. The students arrived 4 days later, and it was a blast. I LOVED my small group. Worship was fantastic, working in the office was great, and the sessions were wonderful. I really enjoyed my time there, and would love to do it again next summer. I definitely believe I began friendships that will continue to grow.

I came home from Summit, unpacked, did laundry, and repacked for family vacation to Disney World! It was so. much. fun. I enjoyed the time with my family, especially not having seen my grandparents since way before I left for Scotland. It was fun to be at Disney without any kids in strollers, and to be old enough that Mom and Dad left the three of us at the parks on our own. (Crazy, I know.)

I have photos of all of these things, and will post them eventually. As for right now, I need to go do laundry and repack for Scotland... I fly out Tuesday. Ridiculous.

My flights were long, but seeing this made them very worth it.

Fort William is beaufitul. When it isn't covered in fog, I can see Ben Nevis from the window behind the computer.

I have loved the time I've had here so far. Everyone has been very welcoming, and I'm excited to get to know the congregation better. Tonight I will be leading a small group for the high school age girls on Esther. There will be coffee and tea, and hopefully lots of laughs and discussion.

Thank you for your prayers!

Packing.

I'm ready. And so excited. Scotland, here I come!

Good thing.

My family appreciates it.

On Tuesday, I will get on an airplane that looks like this.

I will fly across the ocean (eek!) and land here.

I will meet Chris and Anna MacRae, from Kilmallie Free Church, and they will take me here.
