We hope to grow closer to Jesus

We are officially settled in! This is orientation week, so each day we learned about new rules and tasks. Sunday, we went over the basics and went in depth about our covenant.

There are many interesting rules as well, such as keeping groups of opposite genders “odd.” For example, two guys and two girls cannot be alone

We were quite surprised when the weather dropped 40 plus degrees and there was snow on the ground at 5 A.M. on Sunday. By the time the day was over, there was absolutely no snow on the ground.
