We came out from a long weekend of working down at main camp, so the start of this week was rough for her, but then I caught it too.

We started out the week with Old Testament and Theology, one of our Theology professors being our speaker, Aaron Logan! Aaron Logan, this week was amazing!

This week can best be described as a roller coaster of emotions. The week started as normal as any week, with classes and casual building shenanigans. This week our speaker was Casey Groves and he brought a much-needed lightheartedness to the Joshua building.
