Home Sweet Home (?)

Well, it has been almost two whole weeks since debrief ended and I came back to Coquitlam, finishing ten months away with the TREK program.

Debrief was amazing. It was great to reconnect with the other TREK teams, hear and share stories, and encourage one another. It was a good time of closure with my team. We also got some talks on how to come home and apply what we learned this year lovingly and productively.

The end of debrief for me looked a little different than I had planned however. I woke up Friday morning (the last day of debrief), with a pretty nasty case of the chicken pox, and ended up leaving early. I then spent a week essentially quarantined in my house, trying not to scratch, but I made it through, and am on the road to recovery, but if you haven't seen me around, this is probably why.

So, now that I'm home I'm looking forward to reconnecting with you all, going back to work (praise God for providing me with an incredible summer job), reconnecting at church and returning to Simon Fraser University in the fall.

I wanted to thank you all one final time for your faithfulness in supporting me. Your prayers made our time in Thailand effective, and surrounded our ministry. Your encouragement got me through the hard (and easy) days. I love you all, and really can't even begin to express my gratitude to you for partnering with me this year!

Sincerely,
Jillian
