Encounter 09: Part II & III

We spent the past 10 days in NH for MBC's Encounter weekend. The first weekend we were joined by 280+ students & 240+ students on the second week. Between Encounter weekends, we spent a little time just outside Boston with our dear friends, the Needham's. We were so blessed to build new relationships & see many students make decisions for Christ. Big thanks to the following: Bethany & Andy for being tour guides through Boston, for hosting us & (most importantly) for taking us to Mike's; Greg & Sharlene for letting us crash at their cozy condo; Mike & all the band guys for "sharing a pizza with someone you love"; The Carver's for making us feel so at home in NH; the Kokx family for making us laugh & being our built in alarm clock; MBC camp staff for inviting us to be a part of your journey & for loaning us the "green machine"!  

As I mentioned in my previous post, we got to see the biggest snow storm of the year. Let's just put it this way...we had no idea how to handle this situation. No gloves, no shovel, no clue.
There are lots of beautiful bridges in New England
MBC Encounter
One of Cody's 10 talks. I think he's pretty great!
The 3 C's playing checkers. We fell in love with these cuties & can't wait to see them again!
We spent a lot of time snuggled up so we were very grateful for The Needham's fireplace. 
Our trip to NH & MA was a blast! We froze but we also got to see signs of Spring being ushered in when the temps rose to the mid 50's for the last few days there. But, it looks like we left camp just in time because they got another 6 inches of snow overnight!! Craziness. I must say I was delighted to land in the great state of Georgia where the temp was 68 on Sunday night at 10:37. Amen!
