Highlights from this summer

I wanted to share some of the highlights from my summer here in Lakeshore, I will try to be brief.

• The last couple of weeks with Allison. (though her leaving wasn't a highlight, the time we got to spend together was.) BTW Al, you need to come back I am going through snow ball withdrawal...it's pretty serious.
• Setting up the event tent in June. That was the most dirty I've ever been in Lakeshore.
• Learning/Directing/helping put up a fence on the church property.
• Learning to tile floors
• Watching the baptism of Tiffany, one of our church members.
• Having my best friend from college come with a group from her church.
• Meeting the hundreds of volunteers that had never been to Lakeshore before.
• Reconnecting with the volunteers that returned to Lakeshore.
• Watching people stretch themselves beyond what they thought they were capable of and succeeding.
• Listening to Pastor Don preach the word. He wrapped up Ephesians, went through a series on the distinctions of a healthy church, and began preaching through the book of 1 John, in addition to the sermons in Luke we've been going through on Wednesday nights.
• Seeing old friends whom I wish I could see a lot more.
