Starting the goodbyes....

This past week we had our last CC day here in NC and also had a farewell party thrown by Pete's colleagues.

It is hard to say goodbye to our friends.... This was our 5th year with this community and they have been so loving to us!  On our last day they all gathered around us and prayed for us, which was so powerful.

The folks in Pete's department at Wingate were so kind.  They threw such a lovely party, and the words they said about Pete were so meaningful.  He's been there over 16 years and has formed some deep relationships.  Saying goodbye sure is hard!
