About a year and a half ago, Tyla and I were trying to figure out how to work in a visit to Martin Luther College. Since then, I have been there FOUR TIMES. We had no idea that we’d be asked to be on the President’s Advisory Council or that I’d end up going to synod convention.
Tyla and I just got back from our latest trip. Elijah stayed home this time (thanks Megan!) and we got a weekend to ourselves. Visiting Minnesota in late September is a roll of the dice but we had beautiful weather with temps around 80.
Our meetings were wonderful. I feel like our group is really hitting its stride now that we have more context about the challenges that are being faced and the type of feedback that is helpful. Plus, now that we know more people, even our time outside of the meetings leads to valuable conversations whether we’re having dinner or watching a volleyball game. We also got to say hi to a couple friendly faces among the student body too.
Outside of the meetings, we did get a chance to watch two volleyball games and we toured Schell’s Brewery too. The Schell’s tour was rich on history. They have a lot to cover since the brewery has been around since 1860! In the picture below you can see that we got to visit their cave where they barrel age a special fall brew.
Thanks again to MLC for hosting us and we look forward to our next visit!
