It never rains but it pours.

Don't worry, while the title of this post may sound discouraging, I happen to enjoy rain. I'll probably get sick of it eventually, but growing up in a perpetual drought has taught many Coloradans to cheer when the days are cold, dark, and dreary.

I've just had my address confirmed and started the visa application process. My last final of the semester was on Thursday, tomorrow is Mother's Day, and next Sunday is a busy fundraiser at Grace church. In addition to all of this, I just accepted a summer job working with youth through the City of Longmont. It runs from the end of May through the beginning of August and will not only allow me time to catch up with friends and tie up loose ends, but also give me more experience that could prove helpful in London.

This is exciting. It's also a little nerve-wracking and exhilarating, frightening and wonderful. I hope to keep you updated throughout the summer and catch up with many of you.

I ask for prayer that I would walk closely with the Lord, follow His will, and have peace as I do.

"For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his." - Heb. 4:8-10
Oh, and I almost forgot! I promised to attach that weekly itinerary. Here it is:

Monday
Weekly team briefing and prayer
Door-to-door inviting people to activities at the centre
Boy's after-school club

Tuesday
Lunchtime club in a local Christian school
Visits
Youth club (4-5:30)
Bible Study in the evening

Wednesday/Thursday
Training will occur on one of these days
The other day will be set aside for preparation for leading Bible study

Friday
Community drop-in
Girl's after-school club

A brief note on Sundays - Interns are given a few weeks to decide on a local church. Once I've found one, I'm strongly encouraged to stay with it for the remainder of my time in London. This is a wonderful idea, and I may already have a lead on one.
