The first week and then some of August we attended MCE 2015. \u00a0We were given time, space, and teaching for the first two days to just center down and breathe deep, deep into the Lord&#8217;s love and care for each of us. \u00a0We stayed at the Loyola Eco campus and retreat center in Woodstock, IL. \u00a0Curt Peterson, our exec for Cov World Mission, shared with us one last time before he retires at the end of the month. \u00a0Martie Peterson and Millie Lungren gave us choices and the supplies to choose how we might like to worship during our free afternoon. \u00a0Oh how sweet it was to play with sketching and coloring! \u00a0It is interesting how God gifts us with different talents and how we might be still and draw near even by filling space on a paper in with color! \u00a0Roy was thrilled to be able to help weed in the campus&#8217;
