Senior trip update

Hey, everybody back home! This is Katie Pluymert, writing from the senior class trip at Deer Run Retreat just outside of Franklin, Tennessee. We have had an exciting experience filled with adventure and meaningful moments, and there is still plenty of weekend left to enjoy. We have been paintballing, rock climbing, navigating through high ropes courses, and team building. Last night we spent time as a class around the campfire for hours, sharing memories and encouraging one another in our plans for the future and in the time we have still together.

We had a scare on Thursday afternoon when our classmate Alex Rogers took a trip to the emergency room after a paintballing accident. He was left with a chipped collarbone and a hole in his shoulder after taking a heroic dive on the field. He underwent many stitches and even went into surgery. Alex is doing well, however, and has re-joined the group to finish out the week building community with his classmates. Please keep his recovery process in your prayers, and thank the Lord that his injury did not have more dire consequences!

All in all, the senior trip has been an impactful experience for every student and teacher that is participating. We’re having a great week!
