Brittany, Cole, Marissa, Philip 

Team Baggins ! 

A month of fellowship, rest, community, laughter, hospitality & life around the table [a very small table lol]. I am walking away feeling rested, encouraged, loved, & full of the spirit, and maybe a little bit of gyros & nutella :). I don’t think I’ve laughed so much in a single month. From morning prayer & worship, sitting in the kitchen with Mami & Babi, second dinner, & peeing our pants while choking on fried rice, this will be a month I will never forget. 

Brittany, you are one of the most intentional, non-judgmental, welcoming listeners I’ve ever met. You love so big & deep, whether it’s you’re family, our team, or a stranger you met on an adventure day. I always want you in my corner. 

Cole, a man after the hearts of God’s children more than most 20 year old men I know. You walk in gentleness, humility, ownership, & love so well. Want to sing together forever? k cool. 

Mar, my girl, how do I thank God for another season with you? You create such a safe space for people to feel seen & known. You welcome everyone with open arms and a loving heart. The biggest hype woman I know. 

Philip, how does one even begin to describe all the sides of you? A man of wisdom, humor, knowledge, accents & impersonations, & mainly love & adoration for the Lord. You’re a joy to know & do life with. 

I know I am leaving this month looking more like Jesus because of each of you. I am so so grateful & can’t wait to be best friends forever ;)
