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. As someone who is an extrovert, I never really liked the thought of being sick and missing out. Whether that’s in classes or in conversations. This time around, I
This week was a good week! We had a speaker who knew a lot about C.S. Lewis. Luckily we are reading Mere Christianity right now so we got him to come to my group’s book discussion and he talked about the whole book. There were some things that he didn’t agree with C.S. Lewis.
