I am exhausted, sore, and stiff but in such a great way, from such an awesome source! Last night was amazing for our first time out! We had 36 people there and it was an incredible experience for me. A big thank you to Hillsdale Boulevard Baptist Church for graciously allowing us to use your facilities and equipment for free. Thank you for allowing us to completely change your room around as well! I would also really like to thank each and every person who prayed for us not only last week, but while the event was happening. We could not have done this without you! I also would like to thank the extremely hard-working team who worked with me on this. You are my heroes of the month and you should be proud of your hard work!

I am still processing and evaluating everything, but I wanted to share with you our experience, so here are some of the pictures! Please just remember, I am not a good photographer and it is hard to get pictures of people who are constantly moving. :) Enjoy!

This is the space in its normal state.

We had to remove all the red and white so we could set up the room how we needed it.

We're setting up the room with our configuration and colors.

And our decorations are done! Thank you Jessica!

Working out the sound and technology bumps - Thank you Rob!

A local artist, Jessica, took part of our description and made this picture.

Tearing down so we can put the red and white back up.

Cleaning up so we could return the room even better than we found it - which was really clean.

It's back to normal and we're exhausted but feeling really good and excited about everything!
