Spring's First Weeks

The last two weeks have been busy as RUF at UF has gotten rolling again after Christmas break. Here are a few pictures of some of the happenings of RUF:


The first two weeks we tabled on campus a few days a week. We handed out fliers, candy, and told students about RUF and what we do. I was encouraged as we made several contacts that have started coming to RUF for the first time













The first Wednesday of school we had a ice cream/bonfire social. It was a fun time getting to know folks better and reconnecting after break.








The first weekend of the semester RUF had its annual camping trip. Although it was nothing like Colorado camping, it was awesome to leave Gainesville and head out to a house in the woods.








It was a great weekend full of games, fires, smores, frisbee golf, worship, prayer, getting to know more about the students in this RUF, and encouraging them.








On Saturday we had an RUF work day, partnering with a local non-profit Christians Concerned for the Community. There were three projects that day, cleaning a lady's house, landscaping and cleaning up a local church, and building a wheelchair ramp for a lady who could no longer manage the steps at her house. I was a part of the ramp crew and had a fun time building a 36 foot ramp. It felt good to get out and work on something physical and quantifiable with my hands.
