What happens when you throw 36 strangers into a community?

You experience a life of a beautiful community and get a new family. So this year I am doing something called Outtatown which is a discipleship program through the Canadian Mennonite university. Three weeks ago to the day I began this joyous adventure with a somewhat open mind and a stomach full of butterflies; unsure of what to expect. I looked at the faces of each of the people on my site and had no idea the personalities of anyone and could barely remember anyones name. Today I look at pictures of them and all that I feel is an intense love that I have only experienced with a few people. It hurts my heart just to think about parting with any of them. I am looking forward to basking in every single minute of this year and living life in the present moment with no specific plans for the future. I can't wait to experience many adventures with my lovely new family. Love you guys!
