Getting back together

Our team got back together for the first time after the school break this past Sunday. Getting back together after long breaks always makes me a little anxious, because that first conversation could have any number of surprises contained within it. However, we had a blast hanging out on Sunday! Gregory and Jenica both seemed to have a really good holiday with their family . We got to tell funny stories, tell embarrassing stories, talk about how our families are starting to open up and ask more questions about what we're doing, and many other things. Jenica's in the process of looking for a job, so we got to talk about that. As usual Gregory took on more hours at work than he should have, so we also got to give him a hard time about that! Everyone was really pumped about getting ready to get a lot done this year, which was awesome. It seems like only yesterday....
One year ago we had our first module after "signing on the dotted line" as we liked to call it. January 2008 was the deadline we set for the people showing an interest in going to Australia to say yes or no to joining the team. When it was all said and done and the dust settled, Jenica and Gregory were standing there ready to jump into this adventure. I remember how freaked out I was that first module (weekend long training session, we have them every couple of months), it was a weekend spent talking about personalities, spiritual gifts, and other very deep things. I'm sure we were all in shock at what was going on, but pretended like it didn't phase us. We've come a long way, and I'm excited about where we will continue to go.
