Dear Hasbeens:
Initial Thoughts:We just got back from Spring Break and we are exhausted! Our build was incredible, our journey was incredible, and God was speaking to me on multiple occasions. I realize it's not all about me but this week was great not just for our students but also for our staff. We also had a fantastic time hanging out with Brittany Girle, who is living out her life of service for God in everything she does at Casas. She inspires me to do great things for God every time I go down there and I'm thankful that she still loves building houses with our group!
Weekly Update: This week is a recovery week from Spring Break and a getting ready week for Spring Retreat!!! We don't really slow down until Summer starts so pray for our energy! Speaking of the Spring Retreat (and Melonbowl IV) you alums are all invited to our alumni tailgate at the fifth annual guys vs. girls flag football game - wear your team colors (pink for girls, blue for boys - duh!) and bring a snack! If you've never come it's a great time to see current CCFers bonding and to catch up with other Hasbeens! It's Saturday April 2 around 2 PM but come up anytime! We can't wait to see you!
Exciting Thing Happening Today: I'm about to email Amanda Dunn, who is the brand new wife of Nick Dunn (a former CCF intern - 2007-2008) about our Spring Retreat because she and Nick are speaking at it!!! They're talking about healthy relationships, God, sex, & the bible and the way all these things relate to each other.
Other CCF News: We baptized another student a few weeks ago! Tim Ashmen was involved in a church small group with Fledge Fiamingo, Fledge brought him to CCF, Tim got to know Jesus, and then Fledge baptized him in the super sketchy/super fun swimming hole our students play in during the summer. It was aaaawesome!!!!!
Yours,
Becca
P.S. Here's our team with alums Brittany Girle and David Godzisz! Enjoy us in all our dirty/stinky/nasty glory!
