"Peace Out Playas!"

Those were the words that were written on the cake at Morgan and Tori's "Bon Voyage" party lat night... I guess that's what I should have expected when I asked those 2 to pick up the cake for their own party... Jokers til the end.

We had 40 people over at our house last night for their going-away party. It was such a great testament to the impact they've made on all of us. A couple of Tori's friends drove all the way from Sydney to come!

What a blessing it has been to see the 2 of them mature and grow in their relationships with Christ over the past year and a half. When Element first launched in October '07, Morgan was 1 of only 2 attendees at our high school/college-age group! A few weeks later, our group had grown to 3 guys and in walks Tori flanked by 4 other girls! There was quite an interesting change in group dynamics that night... Since then they have been incredibly faithful - dedicated to the church and Fusion every step of the way. Tori worked in e:kidz on Sunday mornings and became our weekly babysitter so that Heather and I could have a date night. Morgan played in the band, led worship for the jr high, and became a personal friend, confidant, and ally.

To watch them leave Cheyenne in pursuit of God is extremely exciting for me. I'm so proud of them both. May God bless them as they are obedient to His calling on their lives. They will definitely be missed.

Praying for those two,
Curtis
