A very happy 4th of July to you all! I'm typing away at the computer this morning while Jennifer is running the Peachtree Road Race. I dropped her off at the start, and I'm sure she will run great!
This has been such a rewarding weekend. Wednesday evening I drove to Tennessee, stayed the night with my parents, and left Thursday morning with Mom for Champaign, IL. I had my Boot Camp Support Training seminar this weekend to help me prepare for Alaska!
Steve Shadrach was the keynote speaker, and offered a lot of insight on the process. (More on that below...) I appreciate the training, but in all honesty, I am really grateful for the LOCATION of the training!
By being in Champaign, I was able to stay with my great Uncle Lou and Aunt Mary, next door to their daughter and her family, Alicia and Achim, Max, Elie & Cate. It was such a sweet time spending the mornings/evenings with my family. Being in Atlanta, I rarely get to spend quality time with this part of the family and I will cherish the time we had together this weekend!

Now on to the seminar... for anyone raising support to be a missionary, I would highly recommend the Body Builder's Boot Camp. It's two long days and lots of material, but I'm excited to put into action what I've learned. Not that I have anything to compare it to, but I would sure say it is the best bang for your buck! The seminar offered some great resources and ideas for newsletters and ways to stay in communication with supporters; I'm really excited about that!
