A New Year at The Oakes!!!

Hi everyone! Well, I am sitting here in my bedroom at the oakes, and it is SOOOOOOO quiet since the whole team have left!!! Very bizarre being in such a big house with like NO noise!!! Jeremy and clare are here, but they are pretty well behaved and quiet! I have been getting ready for the new team arriving in like a week! How exciting! I am so psyched to see all the amazing people God will bring to work at the oakes for the next year! He is so faithful, and I know that he will bring some awesome people that I will be able to learn soooooooo much from! I am looking forward to October when we will have camps again, and the house will be full of noise and excitement! I am so looking forward to seeing some of you girls from my dorm come back again! I am so anxious to hear how God has been working in your life, and how you have been growing in your faith! So be sure to come back soon, because the oakes is just not the same without you kids, its WAY WAY too quiet! Love and blessings all around! Erica Joy
