Today we said farewell to Aurora. She headed off to London, Ontario via bus to visit family a bit before continuing on to Vancouver for the final debriefing and graduation of the Martyr's session.
Aurora fit well in Bangor this summer. Any particular day would find her getting involved in a wide variety of activities such as band, Bible School, Teen Club, PowerHouse, prayer-walking, hanging out with people, eating with people (we do a lot of eating here in Bangor!), praying with people, cooking and many other things. If you're interested in finding out more, check out her blog (Dayspring of God) to see her take on her time with us.
When our students arrived, we told them that building relationships was the #1 priority and Aurora excelled at that! We will see evidence of her connections for quite some time to come. We are definitely better off for our time with Aurora Atell.
It's always hard sending someone off who's become an important part of your life, but it's all good because we know she's coming back in October to spearhead our MMCCXX initiative. We're hoping she'll bring one or two people back with her to help with the ministry (hint, hint, War College alumni)!
We're praying for you, Aurora, and looking forward to seeing you again real soon!
