First meeting

Last week we had our first meeting for the trip. So exciting! There are about 50 people going (49!... ha ha that was for you Nate) which is awesome. They broke us up into small groups so that we can get to know a few people really well. My group is pretty much the bomb. Its all women (and Jenn's in my group, yay!) and we're all in different stages of life and we are all either teachers or stay at home moms and we are all passionate about kids. I had a great time meeting them and getting to know them and I'm so excited to get to know them even better. I think this trip is going to be an amazing bond for all of us. Part of our homework to do before the next meeting is to take a spiritual gifts inventory. I did that last week and my top scores were in Teaching (13), Miracles (12), Hospitality (12), Administration (11), Pastoring (10), and Service (10). My lowest were in Tongues and Interpretation of Tongues (a big fat 0 for both, not surprising). I haven't yet read through what they all mean, but if I find anything interesting, I'll be sure to let you know. Here is a link to a video about ORPHANetwork (who we are partnering with in Nicaragua).. (woo hoo I'm learning how to put links on my blog! ha ha)
