The chapel in CFR missionary house. Talk about simplicity and peace! 
Yankee’s game!! While I hardly paid attention to the actually game itself, the fellowship and laughter made the overpriced water and nosebleed seats worth it! Couldn’t have imagined a more dysfunctional yet joyful group of people to go with!

Beach day with some of the fellows! 
“Ms. Judd, wanna see the Captain America I made out of play dough!”
