Saturday was a pretty full day of team building for the India trip. . . but it all started Friday night with the beginning of our sleep simulation.  Since we will be sleeping on concrete floors (with grass mats) while we are over there, our leaders wanted us to experience this a little bit this weekend. . . . to the wood floor I went on Friday night . . . . good times, and woke up with a little tenderness on my hips and sides.

We then met at GCC to serve at Second Saturday together. . . here are a few pictures from Feed the Children, packing personal care items into boxes. This was the line that some of us were on:

Then to Barnaby’s for some pizza. . . which was later referred to as a “brick in your stomach” compared to the fresh food in India. . . . oh, and there was some time to pummel Jack with some questions!

Off to Potato Creek State Park for our hour long hike with our gear (backpacks that we will be taking to India). . . . .what a beautiful day. . . WOW! it was gorgeous, especially with some of the trees starting to turn. . . . This is how we were greeted:

and here is a picture of us at the end

-Then is was back to the floor Saturday night:) . . . . . . . I feel blessed to be a part of this team. . . and doing these things together is so critical to forming some relationships before leaving. . . so, if anyone from the team is reading this. . . it is and will be an honor to serve by your side!
