First I apologize for not updating sooner. The last three weeks have been totally unbalanced schedule wise!
The first thing I will tell you all about was my parents' visit. It went great. London is amazing! All the history there. I saw everything from the Rosetta Stonein the British Museum to Anne Boleyn's grave to the Gherkin. Liverpool was probably my favorite. I got to touch a ceiling that John Lennon painted and run my hands across a piano that Paul Mccartney played. I even played on a piano in his home. Also it was just a beautiful city.
After they left Saturday morning, Mindy and I took a day trip to Oxford. I ate fish and chip at the Eagle and Child. This is the pub where the infamous Inklings met. The Inklings was a literary group of Oxford students and professors - namely J.R.R Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
This past week I have been in a retreat center in Kiddeminster. It's about two hours from Leicester. I was allowed to be apart of a ICY conference. ICY is a University program specifically for international youth ministry. It was definately one of the best weeks I have had in England. I got to hang out with other youth leaders around my age, dive into God's word, and make real friends.
The next couple weeks everything will be back to normal. Care Club and Kool Zone have started. My small group meets this week. And it is Mindy's birthday on Friday!
Prayer Request:
That girls actually show up and engage in the small group Mindy and I will be leading. It is taking place at my home. I am really excited and can't wait to be apart of the spiritual growth of these girls and myself.
