Hello world its Joe.
November was a special month filled with lots of new experiences. Every weekend I was in a different place-Wilmington, Washington DC, Nicaragua, Asheville. In honor of it being thanksgiving the other week I am going to express what I’ve been thankful for in the month of November.
Wilmington- In Wilmington, the fellow guys attended Apostles mens retreat. I am thankful for the men who sought to befriend me. I am thankful for Mark Hall and the other dads that took Skip and I kite flying. Also, I am grateful for the time I got to spend with the boys.
Washington DC- In DC, the fellows attended the national TFI conference. After being at the conference I was reminded how thankful I am for each of the Raleigh fellows. Not that I wasn’t previously thankful for them, but being in their company during those days reminded me of how sweet friendships can be. I also am thankful for the US! That was my first time at our nations capital and it was pretty sick. It was humbling seeing all the memorials and statues that show our history.
Nicaragua- In Nicaragua, Coburn helped lead a trip for all of us. I am thankful for his leadership and his willingness to make this trip happen. I am thankful for partner @Luis. I miss him and I look forward to seeing him in the future. Throughout the trip the children had my heart and so I would be amiss if I were to not mention how thankful I am for them. They were so much fun to be around and I’m thankful God had our lives cross paths for a few days.
Asheville- In Asheville, I got to celebrate thanksgiving with family. It was nice being home for a few days as I got to rest from such a busy month. Though I don’t live in Asheville currently, I am so grateful for the city and the people and places it has given me.
