Not Even A Hurricane Can Stop Us!

It struck me today as I thought about the last week, that sometimes something that looks bad can actually lead to something good. Last Thursday, two of our teachers from our trip to Chicago came to help with the Pillars of Community play. Along with helping with the play, they were able to experience life with us for a weekend. They seemed to really enjoy their stay, and we were extremely happy to have them. The plan was for them to fly out on Monday morning, but of course due to Hurricane Sandy, their flight was cancelled. They couldn't find a flight out until Wednesday, which meant another 2 days here!! This normally inconvenient event, turned into a blessing for them and also an opportunity for more input on the play. We are so grateful to them for coming and for giving us their time and energy. This play is going to be a success!!
