Andrew,
Zach and I had no idea you formed an intentional community in Nashvegas! I would love to learn and hear more about you all. Did Zach tell you about the social justice conference here in Searcy?
Peace by Piece || February 5-7 || Searcy, AR
There are going to be some amazing speakers here. I’m sure you all would love it. Maybe next time I’m passing through Nashville I could visit you all?
