We started off this new school year with our Kompas team staff meeting.  It was a great time to come together and to share our experiences from the summer.  We had two females on our team get engaged this summer.  We also had many opportunities to share the gospel as a team.  We talked about the many camps we had and everyone’s individual experiences on other camps.  We also had a time where awards were given to people in different areas.  It was such a great time to encourage and love on each other and to really point out some people who have made a big difference in our organization and communities this last year.  I had the honor of receiving an award that I was very surprised about.  I was given the evangelism award.  I did not believe it should go to me, but then was so surprised at people’s reasons for it to go to me.  I have been so encouraged with what others said and really motivated to continue in sharing the gospel.  We are excited as a team to begin this new year!
