This morning was a bit rough. I had to say goodbye to some people I had gotten pretty close too (ladies you know who you are) and that was NO FUN. And it's just been a weird day, I'm not really sure how to feel. We've moved from the comforts and ease of orientation into the real deal. And that's scary.
We've made it to Caernarfon, our home for the next 3 weeks! Woop!
Our hostel is really nice and the owners are pretty cool. We're in a fairly small room, only 3 bunks, so 6 people and right now it's just us and another girl from Virginia. She's nice we all went to dinner together so we could get on the internet (no wi-fi in the hostel....NOT cool).
But all in all it's been an okay day. After we got our things settled at the hostel, we just went walking around town exploring a bit, bought a couple postcards and such. And then we went and bought ourselves some groceries for the upcoming week. Then we headed back to the hostel and watched a little Boy Meets World and took a light nap...glorious!
I'm excited about what the Lord is going to do in this city this summer. I am also scared about what the Lord is going to make me do this summer. I know He's going to push me, and I know that it's going to be hard. But I also know that it's going to be worth it and that He has a grand plan for it all.
Just a few prayer requests for the upcoming week:
-that Tara and I would be able to come together not just as teammates but as friends and sisters in Christ so that we can work better and be more efficient for the Kingdom.
-that I would have the right attitude and remember that it's not about me but about the Lord, and about those people that I have been sent here to reach out to
-that I would have an attitude of boldness and obedience
-that the people we meet would be open and willing to talk to us
Thank You all so much for your prayers and support! It is both felt and appreciated!
Love you guys!

ReplyDeletePhoebe, it's early early Sunday morning here...can't sleep and I'm up, so you get my full praying attention this morning!
ReplyDeleteThis is what it is all about. There are some individuals out there that are looking for peace...they just don't know it's found in Jesus. I'm praying for the Lord to do His mighty thing and you get to be involved in it. You've worked hard up to this point, and He will give you the words to say when the time comes. Proverbs 16:1 (NKJV) - "The preparations of the heart belongs to man, but the answer of the tongue 1s from the Lord."
Love ya! Shannan
