We had some bad news this week: Sheryl won't be able to come with us on the trip. It's sad, but it's because she's preparing to follow God and fulfill her dream to go to Mexico full-time, so it's bittersweet... or bitterSWEET, as with all the hard things that we encounter while following Christ. She is still, of course, involved in our team and will hopefully be able to come to the rest of our training times.
Speaking of: today we had our support-raising training time at the church office. Jenni (our church's Missions Administrator) led our training. Our team has historically been very laissez faire when it comes to support-raising, but Jenni's skill and experience have us feeling very much more prepared (our letters are all written and addressed and stamped)...organizational magic! We needed this training time because we're behind in our support-raising, but it was a great time nonethless.
It was really encouraging to see the whole team together. We've had prayer meetings every Sunday morning (Sheryl's organized them, heh), but haven't all been able to make it to any of them. Our team dynamic is not only really exciting on a ministry level, but it seems like it will be ridiculously fun as well.
