Believe it or not, I have actually learned a lot from you guys about life. I wish I could take the time to single out each one of you and mention something I really appreciate about you, but at the risk of embarrassing you guys, I will speak generally. For some of you, I will miss your big smiles and endless energy. For others, I will miss our guitar jam sessions, or hanging out in the back trying to be cool. I will even miss watching you guys fight for spaces on the couch during small group. Above all, I will miss your senses of humor–I ask that you guys keep track of all the funny or embarrassing things that I miss and be sure to tell me all about them when I get back.
Small group, be good to Brian Downey and try not to break anything. I have faith that you guys will behave perfectly and I have nothing to worry about. 🙂
I look forward to seeing you guys again in a year and being awed by how much you’ve all grown (both physically and in your relationship with God). Please pray for me!! I will definitely be praying for all of you guys! Please send me emails and I will respond to them as soon as I can get internet access ([email protected]).
Sending Abounding Love!
