good times had

look at how cute we are in mcdonalds!


last night was mission years last hoorah before spring break. and it was good.


first we had pizza. delicious. then shawn spoke. oh my goodness he is incredible. he talked about so many things that were so moving. it was mainly a challenge to throw the rules and the program out the window and become what it is God wants us to be. i haven't seen that kind of passion in someone in quite awhile. he told us he was proud of us.

he talked about jesus' conversation with peter. "do you love me?" then he talked about that being what matters. do we love Christ? that's what's important. not a set of rules or a list of expectations. let love motivate.

and on a personal note ... while we were eating pizza he checked up on me about some issues that i spoke with him about. he's so caring. he listens. man i think he is an incredible man of God.


so after that ... the fun times began! karaoke went over really well. we got almost everyone from mission year singing and laughing. anna and i played air hockey the way we do ... ultimate air hockey ... it's painful but really fun. i was just makin friends like crazy. chris and i are now friends on a deeper level. after our conversation last night he said, "well, i feel like i know a whole new laura." then he shook my hand. he's really great too. man it was such a great time.


okay ... today's a half day for chicago public schools ... so hopefully i'll be done real quick ... then it's takin apart beds and packin up the old apartment ... weird ...


Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."
John 21:15
