Update #10: Time flies!
Wow! I cannot believe it is almost Thanksgiving already. We’ll be back at the NET center in less than four weeks. To keep you updated, Michigan has been lots of fun. We haven’t had too many retreats here so the number of days “off” has been large. However, our days off have consisted of drama, music, and AME practices. Along with that, we have been able to attend a few different Bible studies and Confirmation classes. We essentially were a pseudo-parish team for a week. Yep, that’s right. We were in the same host homes for an entire week! It was really cool to get to know everyone so well. I think we met many a future NETter.
The overnight last weekend was a lot of fun. We ran on God’s grace rather than sleep. Unfortunately, I messed up my knee last Friday. It’s doing a lot better and I’m hoping that rest will heal it. I’ll be avoiding the doctor at all costs. You know me. 
Overall, I cannot wait to see everyone in Minnesota. Even more so, I can’t wait to see everyone back home. Apparently, I’ll be quite busy. I even heard a rumor that I’ll be playing at the worship night. Who knows?
In other news, we have yet to see snow! Considering we’re in the Midwest in November, that’s fairly shocking. Some of my teammates are anxiously awaiting the first snowfall because they have never seen it…ever. Whoa. That should be a fun time. Even if we don’t see snow while we’re in Michigan, we’ll definitely be seeing some before Christmas whether it be in South Dakota, Minnesota, or Missouri. It’s bound to happen.
Our supervisors, Steve and Kayla, will be visiting us within the next hour which is pretty exciting. We need more people to fill the empty space while Johnny is back home for his sister’s wedding. Thankfully, we’ll all be reunited again in a few days. However, until then, I’m the AME leader. That’s pretty entertaining in itself.
Well, my time is coming to a close. Expect pictures. Eventually.
Peace and God bless,
Caitlyn

Hi!
Good to hear from you here on your blog and the note you sent. Enjoyed the picture of the group. They are probably friends you will have for life and that’s a wonderful thing. I sure wish I was going to be home for Christmas, but since the house deal was a no go, here I am in TN. Tomorrow we are having an open house. Please pray that we get a buyer soon. Our furnace died the other day and it cost us $5300.00 for a new one! Lovely, especially when you don’t have that kind of money! It’s always something. Sorry to hear that you hurt your knee, hope it is feeling much better. Sorry too for the lousy genes! Take care and remember how much I love you.
