Jesus is kickin' and I'm loving my team more and more every day.
I can't believe it's almost over..
sad panda.
I need a photo excursion and time with the girls.
Love you all.

America!
It's so off the chain to be in America.. and Boston again, although the rain seemed to follow us from the UK.

Oh boy.
I am currently chillin' with my team in Edinburgh, Scotland seeking refuge from the rain.
Today was absolutely amazing-- we've been partnering with the Rock Elim Church here and they have such a passion for reaching their city.. they put on a giant party in the Meadows (a huge park) with a bouncy castle, face painting, live music and free food.
We barbecued Scot-style.. downpour, trashbag fashion, soggy buns and all but the people kept coming.
God worked in amazing ways despite the rain and we had a wonderful time.
I'll be sad to leave Scotland on Thursday..
God has changed all of us in too many ways to count and I am so blessed to know have this team in my life.
I love telling people about Jesus.. before, I was far too shy and nervous to even utter his name among strangers but God placed a passion in my heart that is burning out of control to tell others about his unfathomable love and grace.
I will be forever changed through this experience.
Christ is worth it all and more..

Hey from Walsall
Hey Y'all,
(Yes I have picked up a southern accent living with a Texan and a Georgian-- don't know if that's what you really call a girl from Georgia :])
We've been in the UK for almost a month now and we have seen 1,001 first time commitments to Jesus and something over 30 re-dedications. It's been amazing.
Since we've been in Walsall, England, we've been in the schools running their RE classes (religious education) and just chillin' with the kids telling them all about Jesus.. eating school lunch again and what not, I never thought I'd have that again! It blows my mind that we can even mention God in a public school seeing as that would never happen in America so it's been a huge blessing.. we're even allowed to pray with them.
Today, we have the day off so our team is hopping on a train to Birmingham, England to do some fun stuff and eat "tea" (the equivalent of American dinner.. only English lunch is called "dinner") and finally be reunited with the the other half of my YWAM family; our team was split in half to be able to reach two separate schools. It'll be brilliant to be able to chill and relax before we head off to Edinburgh, Scotland on Tuesday.
So this is pretty much the final countdown..
2 more days in Walsall and 10 in Edinburgh until we're back in the States.
Miss you all,
hopefully I'll be able to get on here again.
