Howdy folks!
April has been one heck of a month full of retreats, activities, and all sorts of good times! Here’s a non-exhaustive list of what has happened throughout the month:
John Richmond retreat
Meeting Chief Justice Paul Newby
watching The Matrix and eating dinner at Scott Steele’s house (our Worldview teacher)
Jeff Bailey Retreat
House tours
Accepting a job
Easter in Raleigh
delivering Meals on Wheels with Celeste
Tar Heel 10 Miler
Trivia at Sneaky Penguin
Birthday weekend for me and Celeste
As you can tell, this was an action packed month. Here are a few pictures from it all!
The Jeff Bailey retreat was an awesome one! He led us through some spiritual formation history and ideas in a way that I had not seen yet, and it was extremely helpful for me. One of the moments that has continued form this retreat for me is when Jeff led us through the Jesus prayer, which I have found myself continuing to pray all month long. Also, big congratulations to Jeff for his new appointment as a bishop in his diocese!
Emma, Bailey, Celeste, and Joe all ran the Tar Heel 10 Miler, and absolutely crushed it! Josh trained with them the whole time, even running 10 miles during one of the retreats, but he couldn’t be in town for the big race. These 5 showed true grit, so everybody give them a big congratulations next time you see them!
We took group pictures on Monday before our Spiritual Formation class. Hopefully somebody can find one where everyone’s eyes are open because I sure couldn’t. Also, big thanks to Mary Young for leading that class and letting us take pictures at her house!
Fellows has been absolutely incredible, and I am excited to continue being bought in 100% until the very last day. I am also excited to finish up and start a new job, begin living with a bunch of the guys, and continue growing in the community that the Lord has so graciously provided me through this program!
Tootles!
