tall ship WINDY

Hey all...

If you are ever in Chicago, you MUST get a ticket to board the tall ship Windy. It was such a blast last night. That was my super exciting surprise. For an hour and a half the team and I sailed around the bay, getting an awesome view of the city at sunset, and enjoying the beautiful weather. Being on a sailboat and seeing the city like that was unlike anything I have ever done...and to be in the company of great people---it was so much fun!

After setting off, the crew asked for a few volunteers to hoist the sails. I volunteered, not realizing how hard it would be toward the end. We thought it would be easier, and it was in the beginning, but man, my arms are soar today! Here are a few pictures of that, and of that evening as well.

I am writing this today from the Agape Center where the students are downstairs being trained on working with children. The staff and I are kind of hanging out in the office upstairs, getting things done for next week and working on some other jobs. We'll be heading back for dinner soon and more training and meetings tonight.

Hope you all are enjoying summer and are having as nice of weather as we are here in Chicago!
