So in about an hour, we'll be heading off to Bassenthwaite in the Lake District for our final debrief.  Last night was our big goodbye party with people from both St. Andrew's and St. James', and this morning was my last Sunday at St. Andrew's.  Saying goodbye is always bittersweet.  I'm going to miss these people so much, but I'm also looking forward to going home.  Now I get to spend my last three days with the team before I head out on Thursday.  I'm looking forward to a great time of relaxation, processing, and good conversation.

Please pray for safe travel to and from the Lake District today and on Wednesday and protection over our house while we're gone.  Also, pray that this would just be a good time of closure for each of us as we start processing the last eight months and looking forward to the next season of our lives.
