we wanna be so cold
no we haven't changed the lyrics to our song "so close." this was simply the best description of what illinois was for us: cold. freezing hands. chapped lips (and chap stick and things like chemistry). red ears. rosy cheeks. ice. AWESOME. despite the rainy, icy, snowy conditions, we had a blast in illinois. we got to leave a day early and spend the night at brad's house which is always a blast. he got to spend some time w/ his family and his soon to be family (i.e. kelly).

on friday we continued on to tennessee, illinois (ironic huh??) where we of course got lost due to the spectacularly flawless mapquest directions, but it was all okay b/c we had movies and arrested development to watch that took us home! eventually we found our way to lamoine christian service camp.

the kids rocked, our digs were amazing, the gym we spent the whole weekend in was fantastic. most importantly, about 100 of us came together for a period of 72 hours to lift up the name of our father and encounter him.

thanks to josh, jeff, and whitney for having us and the great job you do with the students.

the craziest part of the weekend was the drive home. the last session was over sunday night. we didn't get to leave until 11.30 eastern time. we were driving through the night in icy conditions to get brad back for german class. 12 hours and 1 speeding ticket later we literally arrived back on campus at the exact moment brad's class started.

we have several openings through the semester and in the late summer through the end of the year. if you have a need we'd love to join you in worship!
