This, of course, is awesome as it was a wonderful time for so many of learning about God and his work in the world, but can you imagine the logistical nightmare that this would cause? \u00a0There was so much more food that needed to be purchased, sleeping arrangements that needed to be figured out, etc. \u00a0The staff amaze me how they are able to come together in such difficult circumstances and put together such a wonderful event. \u00a0I&#8217;m sorry that I didn&#8217;t have time, as we were so busy with our meetings, to take some pictures of the festivities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=post&object_id=1924&width=250&height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simeon and I came back from the camp in Santo Domingo just in time to go pick up Kim from the airport. \u00a0It was great to see her as we both had missed her a lot. \u00a0She seems to have really enjoyed her class on the Theology of the Covenant in Minnesota. \u00a0She also had &hellip; <a class=\"read-excerpt\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp\/?p=1924\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&raquo;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124,42,508,126,10,72],"tags":[186,115,24649,216,24657,24648,178,24651],"class_list":["post-1924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ecuador","category-ministry","category-santo-domingo","category-simeon","category-travel","category-updates","tag-ecuador-info","tag-ipee","tag-ministry","tag-retreat","tag-santo-domingo","tag-travel","tag-trips","tag-updates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MOM&#039;S HOME!!!!
