O-Team 2008
I have been so bad about keeping you all updated these past two weeks. Not to make excuses, but orientation (otherwise known as “Launch 2008″) was pretty intense! I got back to Covenant in the evening of August 16th and orientation team training began on the 18th at 8:00 a.m. We were pretty much in training from 8:00 in the morning until 9:00 or 10:00 in the evening. Training lasted until Friday when orientation started and the new students began to move in. I think I’ll just briefly describe a couple of highlights during O-team training.
Three words: busy, but FUN! Many people think that in doing O-team they can settle in earlier in the school year, but it’s really not true. I didn’t finish unpacking/decorating until classes began. We were in meetings/preparing welcome packets/running over technical details pretty much all day every day. But it was so awesome to hang out with a group of students (both familiar and unfamilar) who shared in the same passion and spirit of welcoming new students to Covenant. In the two weeks we spent together we really became a close knit group of friends with experiences we will not forget (i.e. the talent show). I really appreciate the new friends I made and the lessons they taught me about being myself and being aware of my own weaknesses. Most O-team leaders had O-team partners who helped them welcome their group of students, but all O-team leaders were involved in a core group with a Core Team leader. This support, which seemed kind of silly to me at first, was seriously a core part of my sanity when Orientation started (now I know why they call it core!) and for that I am so grateful!

Oh, the talent show. At least now we know that if Ryland and Court got married and had a child, she’d look just like you. ;)

Thank you for your prayers for the deserving. Please pray that all lives would be spared during these stormy weathers and people would deeply reflect on new spiritual beginning. Things do not happen without reasons.
