We just finished up two weeks of training in Stony Point, NY. We had an incredible, almost indescribable time together... which is why a longer blog post is coming in short order. In the meantime, I thought you at least deserved some photos!
Stony Point is a gorgeous retreat center with organic farms, jogging trails, and never ending coffee (my Seattle side was very happy). All the Young Adult Service Corps volunteers and the Young Adult At Heart Service Corps volunteers (pronounced "yahsk" as the Brits say) were there. We learned as much from each other during our break hours as we did in session, discussing cross cultural challenges, what it truly looks like to humbly serve a community drastically different from what you're used to.

I hope you enjoy the photos, and I promise to give some more stories soon!
