So Project is halfway over. Last night we had a meeting to send the staff off, and it was really sad! Every action group (Bible study) did a farewell skit or song for their leader, and I ended up making the staff appreciation video. I'll post a link to that soon, but I'm really happy with how it turned out! On a side note, Mihn's computer is fabulous and I really want a Macbook Pro.
Anyways, this morning we all got up to see the staff drive off forever. Some of them (the four directors) will come back at the end of the trip for the appreciation banquet, but most of them I doubt I will see again! :( SO SAD! So I wrote them all a haiku and gave them to Collin (one of the staff) to hand out once they get to Yosemite for their fun little trip.
So the 62 students are now on their own. Leaders have been appointed in their place to do the jobs that the staff were in charge of before they left, and I have every confidence in our team to step up and keep this Project going for the glory of God!
I just can't believe that the 20 new friends I made are gone. Being an older student, I kind of feel like I related to the staff (who are all in their mid-late twenties) more than most of the students...
Some of the numbers so far for our project:
400 + spiritual conversations
115 + opportunities to share the Gospel
12 decisions to trust Christ
Incredible! I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for the last half of the summer. Staff, I better see you all at the reunion!
Thats all for now,
Dana
