UPDATE Week of January 30

 
Through highs and lows, it is great to be a Winston-Salem Fellow...

SWEET COMMUNITY
That was the theme this week...

Witness the last picture taken prior to Lucy finding out she was accepted into medical school...


We had decided to sing a song that was not in our songsheet, so we had to pull up the lyrics on our phones. When Lucy did, she saw that she had a notification from Wake Forest (which she assumed was bad news). She excused herself to go to the bathroom where she proceeded to not go to the bathroom but read her email. 


Praise took on a whole new meaning after that...



What a gift to get to celebrate with people at the very moment our prayers were answered!



It was time to celebrate! 

Congratulations Lucy! You are going to be a doctor!

Community also manifests itself in sweetness in the hard moments as well. 

On Wednesday, Emi was having some car difficulties. 


But we put our heads together, and got that Prius back on the road!


Praise God from whom all blessings flow!


CHILI NIGHT AT ROUND TABLE

Hef provided Round Table dinner for us on Monday. 

Her chili is fabulous...but her chocolate chip cookies are MAGICAL!

It was a great night of fellowship, fun, and mission trip preparation! Always a joy to be with the Turner family!


LEADER LUNCH WITH ELMS ALLEN

After a COVID break, Elms Allen rejoined the rotation of Leader speakers for the Fellows. What a story! What a man! We could have listened to his stories for hours. 


Which is why the Fellows lingered. 


Among the great treasures of Winston-Salem - you will find Elms Allen to be one of the greatest.

GREAT OUTDOORS

Speaking of great. I love that this area has some of the best hiking around. The fam went on a 10 miler to the top of Hanging Rock on Saturday. 


There were a couple frigid creek crossings.




Lia was not pleased


But the view was worth it.

RECRUITING UPDATE

 Crossing our fingers, but it looks like we may officially have our first Demon Deacon in the class of 2024!

Interviews are picking up. 

If you have a friend or loved one that you believe would be a great addition to the WS Fellows, please contact us ASAP.
