Ultimate Week

This week has been wonderful in a large variety of ways. We hosted our largest group of the summer. 65 of us served along side one another and I can confidently say that each and every one of them poured out a special blessing on this quaint town of Cortez, CO. They were servant minded and joy filled, leaving all of us on staff refreshed and excited to finish off the summer.
In addition to having five incredible youth groups join us for a week of service, we have had ten fellow YW staffers join us this weekend. What a refreshment that has been! Joining in fellowship with all these amazing people has lifted by spirits immensely. Their presence alone has brought great joy to my weekend. Yesterday, we shared all the stories that accumulate during a summer of service and today we have enjoyed a movie, tour of Mesa Verde, and for myself, a long chunk of time resting in a beautiful park under a large tree. We finished off this afternoon with some incredible rounds of ultimate Frisbee and a victory dance in the sprinklers, only to later be fed a delicious meal of chicken fajitas :)

I hope that this short and sweet update finds you all doing well , and that you can see a smile shining through the words which I have written.

Anna Darlin',
Your words have given me hope to know that you are well and alive and growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am very excited to hear that you were encouraged by this past weeks' events. It has been crazy over my way this week as we prepare for Saturday's events. :D it's an incredibly exciting time and there are so many emotions wraped up in this event but all is well. Except for a slight headache i've had all week, i'm doing very well. I will be glad when all of these details are complete and i have my husband by my side. I miss you very much and i cannot wait to see you! Stay strong and know that i'm thinking of you and praying for you. I will write again soon!
Love and Prayers,
-Poplar
