Thank you to the adults, Kim White, Wendy Shields, Dave Pasek, Derek Haddad, Rene'e Urlaub, Kristyn Russell, Justin Dean, Callie Losinski, and Kathy Russell. From the bottom of my heart, you make this event so enjoyable and meaningful. 

To the Teen Team, I could not be more proud of your efforts, your love, and the care you give to every aspect of the retreat planning process and execution. You are inspiring beyond words. I am endlessly grateful for you. You made the lives of the 50 people there with you full of love. God grants us blessings in numerous ways that are not always obvious to unless we really look deep. Then sometimes He hits us so hard with his presence that we are shook. Thank you for being the hands of God that shake us from our stupor, less obsequious, and more ready to take charge of our faith in Him.

We will meet again for a Y2Y reunion on May 21st from 6-8 pm. We will plan to be outside for a potluck meal, games, and to talk about our experiences at the retreat and afterward.

I can't wait to see you all then.

With so much love,

-Old Justin
