2011 March Groups 3 & 4

Colorado Springs and Ohio State

March went by like a whirlwind! We had 4 amazing groups from all over the U.S. The 3rd week, The Ohio State University came as well as First Presbyterian Colorado Springs. I had a blast hanging out with this group and spending some time with them at dinners and their nightly devotions. What a love for others and dedication to the service of God, each and every member of the group has!

I especially enjoyed my time with the young women from Ohio State. Its nice being able to give input and a little advice from the experiences that I have had with work, college, life and my relationship with God. Seeing young women experience the same things that I have and struggle with the same insecurities and problems is oddly encouraging. It reminds me that none of us are going through life alone and that though our experiences are different, they are really very similar.

After OSU and Colorado Springs left, we received a group from First Academy in Orlando, FL. First Academy is closely associated with the First Presbyterian Church in Orlando. They were an awesome group of young guys and gals and enjoyed working on several houses in the community.

We are so thankful for all that our short-term missionaries do in their time here in Bayona!

Blessings,
