This weekend, I went back to Nashville to a reunion of the team that went to Sierra Leone for the first 2 weeks I was there. Only 6 of the 14 people who went ended up coming to the reunion, but it was good to see the people that did show up (even if some of them were/are a little nuts). We got to hear about how the people who didn't show up for the reunion were doing and talked some about what needs to be done on future teams. I think that the whole team experience has taught me a lot. Mainly that God can use completely unqualified and imperfect people to do some amazing things. Most of us that went were completely unqualified for the jobs we were undertaking but somehow it worked. Just being with some of the team again and hearing the stories of things each member did in Sierra Leone makes me realize that even if these people were completely crazy (in my own too-judgemental opinion) they did make a difference and their hearts were in the right place. I feel like I kind of underestimated them. I'm glad I got to go see them again.
I went to all-sing tonight to see Kayla do her thing. All-sing didn't really seem as put together this year as in the past. It went well though. Chels and Leia, you'll be releived to know that Phi Mu got first place!!!!!!!! Anyway, Kayla was pumped so I'm glad I got to go see her.
