I think they like us!


Hey there family and friends, it’s Erin!! 

First I want to thank you all for your prayers, support, and comments!!  They mean so much to us.  Anyhow, I am excited to write this post tonight.  Our team had such a great day with the Academy kids!!  Today felt less hectic and seemed to flow better and our morning started off much better!!  The kids are having a great time and it has been such a blessing to see the kids responding and participating in our classes.  I have really loved watching our team members step up and succeed in their teaching roles and also step up to take care of other tasks that need to be done.  There is so much love getting passed around here and I know that God is with us!!! 

Here are a few highlights from today: there was a water attack on the RockHarbor leaders.  But don’t worry; some of our RockHarbor team helped the kids, including our leader Monica, make sure each leader participated! All I will say is there were a few people dragged or carried out of rooms (Heather and I) and attacked with water from the kids and the traitorous RockHarbor team members!!  The kids loved it though and it was great to bond with them through that.  We had guys and girls night tonight which the kids really enjoyed also and it was great to see the kids really get comfortable and open up to our team!!!  There were several moments today where I was able to stop and look around and what I saw was beautiful;  Team members and academy kids were having one on one (or two) conversations and sharing stories.  Really being brothers and sisters in Christ; Family.  These kids are really smart, funny, sweet, and full of joy.  It’s incredible to be able to be a part of their lives and get to know them. 

I ask that you would keep our team and the academy kids in prayer over the next week.  Pray for opportunities to connect and minister to the kids and pray for God to prepare our hearts for whatever he is calling us to this next week. 

Blessings,

Erin

P.S. Hi mom and dad!!!  And friends!!  Miss you all and love you!!
