RAIN OR SHINE!?


this saturday marked my one year anniversary! cool huh?

laure (my roommate) and i had a BBQ on saturday in this woodsy/park area. it was really neat. we had around 25 people come. im glad my friends were able to come out to eat, drink, and hang out together. i really felt at home.

on sunday it was another GORGEOUS day!!! UNBELIEVABLE!! thank the Lord! i went to the phipps' house to hang out in the evening. when im at their house i always think im in the States. even when i talk i say..well here or "why did he/she come to the States?" hahahaha quite funny. they are great to hang out with and i really appreciate having them right up the road.

yesterday and today were back to typical belgium as it rained. unfortunately ive noticed some rain coming in from the roof. dunno how, but it does. luckily it is not a lot and hasn't ruined anything yet.

our leaders/committee BBQ is on thursday. it is supposed to rain, so it will probably happen in doors. whats new?!?!

even though things are going well, today i feel blahhh. i kinda just feel like being home. not wanting to do "this" today. oh wait...i dont have the choice ;) i cant pin-point it but its just a weird feeling. i know its a mix of a lot of things that are going on that i cant control. but if you are reading this, will you please pray for me? its crazy that in the highest of highs you can feel so low.
ok gotta run..the girls are gonna be here at 7 and i gotta prep. until the next time.

p.s. picture is of me, laure, and johanne (one of laure's friends) in a town right near to mine

away for the weekend


hey!!! this weekend im going to holland for a training wknd. actually its for our volunteer leaders. we have a great group going. someone from the US will be coming and teaching us how to give a talk. this will be excellent for our volunteer leaders. we would like to encourage them to give the talks during club! plus it will give them more of a look into YL.

hahaha dont you love this silly picture. mom and tia ana (my aunt), and lauren (my cousins oldest daughter), are coming to visit! it will be a fun time. yay! they'll get a taste of my life and ministry here AND be tourists.
