Sunday, August 12

I just want to update about the weekend quickly. It's only 10:30 and I'm pretty tired (even with my great nap this afternoon!) Last night a group of about 25 of us went out to play Putt-Putt. It was only about 15 minutes away, which was great! We had a lot of fun. What was really encouraging was that if you were watching us from the outside it would probably look as if we'd all known each other for quite a while.

So this morning started with house church. There were six adults and two children at ours. We studied together, sang with Mr. Chris Tomlin, and spent time in prayer. Obviously it was much different than anything I'm used to (except I did have a flashback from the old Sonrise building when I could walk outside my bedroom and be standing in the sanctuary). It was a pretty neat experience but will take some getting adjusted to when our congregation decreases to three!

Then tonight we had our mapping ceremony. In the man buildilng there's this huge map of the world. Each person introduced himself, told where he was going, shared a prayer request, and then placed his picture on the map. It took about two hours but was well worth it.

Thanks so much for your prayers! I am so excited that God is using you to reach the nations, as well!
