Warm weather and more from Rockville

This week we finally had more than one day of nice weather. This past week actually had three days of sustaining weather above 65 degrees with lows above freezing. The weather was enjoyed by all here especially the parents with kids. On Wednesday, the kids in the Asia region of quads played outside for a solid two hours after school! Amazing!!!!

Further, this weather provided a beautiful backdrop for our personal spiritual retreats on Thursday! Basically, we were given four hours to spend with God alone in whatever manner we found fit! I spent it outside resting in and meditating upon David's insights in Psalms 8-15! David wrestles with some tough stuff and some amazing things in these passages. It was a nice and needed time with Father after a previously encountered week that was mentally and physically grueling!

Well, today we finished our ESL Instructional Class today here at orientation, and I have to give shout-outs to my table mates: Daniel R., Jamie N., Sara H., Peyton C., and Jimmy B. It was a good time to consider how the English language works and how best to relate these ideas to others!

Well, I sign off to go accomplish some things before an evening spent with amazing friends eating Chinese Food at a restaurant in downtown Richmond!
