Thursday Night meeting

woah.....real emotional day...

I was the official end of the program today. We got together with all of the host families, advisors and Net team staff to talk about our summer and swap memories. There was a bit of crying as it became so real that we wouldn't be seeing as much of each other after this. I even felt a little teary-eyed as we layed hands on each other and prayed. There was a lot of things said about each of us and the work we've done over the summer. Once again, the comments about me seemed to be opposites of each other. Some comments are about of serious and studied I am, while others referred to a spontaneous and goofy nature. I suppose they're both a little true, but it was a little odd. When the meeting was over, several of us got together for one last hurrah by camping out on the Norman's front lawn. It was nice to be able to end the program our way: with one last little laugh with the church community. It was especially cute that Dave Norman, our boss, tepeed the tents.

I'm gonna miss my teammates alot. I've never met people my own age so passionate for God. Several of these people have been role models for the type of Christian I want to be. I don't know what I'll do without My Girls (Jen, Hayley and Em) or the rest of team to hang out with. These are without a doubt the best friends I've had in a long time. I'm especially gonna miss Em and Moe, who have helped me with several issues in my past. They now know more about me than any other human living and they've really kept my trust. These fall is going to be so boring without these guys!
