It's May!

Hello friends and family!

I hope you all are doing well! I am. I've been spending the past few weeks at home, and it has been good. My days have been filled with working at Primos, helping Kim at Love INC, spending time with family, watching movies with Lyn, and tickling Sean. I can't say that all of my time at home has been restful, especially since part of that time has been spent making pizzas for hungry people, but it has been nice.

Right now I am soooooooo excited because Saturday morning my Grandma, Uncle Tom, and I are flying to London! This trip has been in the works since 2001! We've planned it 2 other times, but each time things came up and we were unable to go. Now that it's finally becoming a reality I am so excited. I'm also very blessed because not many people get to take a free trip to Europe! My Grandma and Uncle Tom are blessing my socks off! We will be gone for 10 days and we're spending time in England, Scotland, and Ireland.

The day after I fly back I will be driving up to Cascade to go back to my real job. Most of the summer I will be helping staff our summer program, Mission Adventures (MA). As part of MA, Danny and I will be leading a team of 8 people to Varanasi, India for 2 weeks. I love India and I'm happy I get to return so soon, but I'm not looking forward to the miserable weather. It will be fun though and I can't wait to see how God uses us.

Thanks for your friendship, prayer, and support!

Oh! I almost forgot. I think I sent an e-mail out to everyone, but incase some of you don't know. I have been accepted to do a Bible Core Course (BCC) at the YWAM base in Lausanne, Switzerland this fall. So God willing I will be in Switzerland from September-December gaining a greater knowledge of God's word. If you want more info on the school here's the link http://www.ywamlausanne.com/schools/bcc-sbscc.html

Prayer Requests:
  • Students for our Backpacking DTS and Mormon-Focused DTS
  • Greater intimacy with God
  • That I will allow God to use me however He sees fit

I know this is about a month late, but better late then never. At the end of March I had a kind of Supporter Appreciation night. I invited friends and family to my church for dinner and fellowship followed by me telling them about my time in India and my plans for the future. Overall I think it was a great night. It was good to get to see everyone and share stories.

Here are some pictures from that night. Thanks Kim for taking them!
