Overall, my break was pretty good, but it certainly wasn’t without its ups and downs. I had visited a lot with family and friends, including Joshua’s siblings, who lived nearby. Spending time at home during the holiday season is always a sweet thing when you’ve been away from home for a while.

Hello friends! My name is Luke Wyatt, and here’s an update from the past week here at Joshua! We had the privilege of hosting Josh and Annette Sofaer—a Jewish couple—who came up to the lodge to share in depth about the rich history of Jewish culture. On Tuesday night, we got the super cool opportunity to participate in a traditional Messianic Jewish seder. I’d never taken part in a seder like this before, and it
