Hi Everyone,
Our first destination in North Carolina was Christ the King in Cary (which is outside of Raleigh). Christ the King is a large church that has four services on a Sunday, with two going on at a time. We had some team time there before and after leading some songs with preschoolers on Wednesday and Thursday. It was a great church that we will be returning to in the beginning of November. Thursday and Friday night, we just had housing (no programming) because of last minute bookings. We all stayed with Lindsay's aunt in Raleigh. It was a fun relaxing time, but strange not to have to do much. At Lindsay's aunts, we enjoyed meals, video games, going out shopping, and rehearsing.
Saturday, we traveled to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Goldsboro, NC to do a family night program. This congregation really appreciated our program and were very generous at helping us with our needs list and financially. Also, our hosts were great!! Sunday, we led Sunday school by singing some songs and doing our puppet show. We got to enjoy worship outside! During worship, we did the children's sermon and sang a song for the offering. Afterwards, we enjoyed an amazing potluck meal.
On Sunday, my sister, Lara, was ordained! Sadly, I had to miss the service because of my work with Cross Fire. I am glad to here that the service and reception both went well. It was tough for me to not be there with her and my relatives. Lara is on her way out to Rialto, California where she will begin her first call. I am very excited for her!!
Monday, we relaxed for our day off. We slept in, did laundry, watched TV and movies, and talked to our host families. Monday night, we all went to the airport to pick up our new teammate and Heather. Finally, our new teammate, Prosper, has arrived!! Prosper is from N'Gaougdéré, Cameroon. It is interesting to hear that he has worked at Outlaw Ranch (a Bible camp in SD), where I worked for three summers. Heather is the international team director, who will be joining us until Friday for some on the road support to help Prosper adjust to team. We enjoyed a brief outing with them to steak and shake. We all look forward to getting to know Prosper better. Luke is very happy to finally have another guy on the team.
Today, we move on to Columbia, South Carolina and then will be going to Georgia. Thanks for keeping up with me!
Peace,
Tiffany
