April Showers Bring May Flowers


Feliz Lunes! (Happy Monday!)
A little over one month has passed since my last blog post, and to no surprise a lot has happened since then! One of those being that it's finally Brewers season! There are only 18 days left of my sophomore year of college and 29 days remain until I arrive in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with other college students from around the mid-west!  I wanted to give a little update on what has happened in the past month regarding the journeys of life!
The second weekend of April I ventured to the western side of Wisconsin with some lovely ladies to visit friends in Eau Claire and Menomonie!  The weekend was filled with many giggles and a few inches of snow!  BUT, this coming weekend is looking promising weather-wise for all of you who have spring fever as bad as I do.  Let’s hope that we make it to 70 degrees before May!  That would be simply glorious.  I am beyond thankful for the friendships that I have built throughout college thus far and that I was able to visit all of my friends that weekend!
This last weekend students from CRU attended a leadership retreat in Appleton, Wisconsin!  This was a time of community and learning how to grow in our leadership qualities as Fall of 2013 is quickly approaching and a group of new students will soon arrive on campus at UWO.  I learned a lot of useful knowledge throughout the weekend about “filling in the gaps” of other people and discovering hidden talents that we all have!  As I look ahead to this summer and my junior year of college which is fastly approaching, I am beginning to visualize how leadership is so vitally important in order to have an impact on the world surrounding us and to be confident that we have been equipped with every tool we need to utilize in order to successfully lead others. Win. Build. Send.
I have faith that during this next month, God will provide the remaining support that I have left to raise because he is able!  Please continue to keep the students, staff members, and I in your thoughts and prayers throughout the coming months as many of us take giant leaps of faith!  My friends and I will be road-tripping it together down to NMB, so please pray for safe travels and nice weather as well!  If any of you reading this would like to receive weekly updates during my time in NMB, please send me an email at jennabill10@gmail.com so I can add you to my email list!  I will continue to update my blog before, during, and after project because I enjoy involving others in my life!
Love,
Jenna
 
Friendsies!
