first week of summer tour

Our intern training week is coming to an end and our 4 day Painted Grace Tour begins tomorrow then after that our first of 6 expeditions begin! We couldn't have been blessed with a better intern/staff team this summer. We have such a young and amazing group of young adults. One of which is my cousin: Aaron Dates and it just thrills me to share this once in a lifetime experience with someone in my family! He is awesome and hilarious, seriously i think i've laughed more this week than i have in my whole life!

We have our summer staffers: Alexis Gargasz and Brian Peterson. I love them, they are like my family as well. Alexis is the founder of Painted Grace and uses art to minister to people who are in the "artsy" crowd. She's freakin awesome and talented beyond her years! I am proud to work along side her and Brian!

Then we have: Elena Potter, Beth Thombs, Jackson Stoltzfus, Tasha Stoltzfus, Amanda Sprouse, Ian Alves and Nate Noble. Wow there are soooo many! I've never traveled with such a big team let alone this many guys! I am so excited to see where God is taking Holy Hands. Since we made the move out to Lancaster, I feel like God has just been doing so many crazy things, I get so excited to think about the future, but I am even more excited about living out the present!

Keep on praying for us, God is going to be doing some amazing things in our lives, in this ministry and hundreds of people's lives this summer and I can't wait to get it started tomorrow!
