It seems like ages since I last posted. It's not that there's nothing to post, it's more because there hasn't been time to post.
So, to catch up a little bit, here is just a short log of what I've been up to.
VBS went out with a bang! The parent program went absolutely amazing. Most of the parents came and PACKED our little auditorium. 25ish kids collected around $120 for the Klassen missionary family. Most importantly, every child and every parent heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. There also were two families that wanted to know more information about our church. Praise the Lord for His work that week.
The next morning, I loaded up all my suitcases in my car and headed for Chicago via my grandparents' house in Minnesota. I had been invited to give my testimony in a Commit session at the IBLP Indianapolis Regional Conference, and I had to be at the IBLP headquarters in Chicago by Sunday night. When I spent the night in MN, I got delightfully detained for another 12 hours. -My cousin Sarah would be coming with me!!!! I arrived at the conference a little later than planned, but I didn't mind.
my cousin Sarah: you are so beautiful!
Commit was absolutely amazing! I loved my team!!! (To my girls reading this: You girls were such a delight to work with, and I loved getting to know each of you!) The leadership team really sought to know the Lord and show the girls Christ's love for them. What a joy to be a part of this ministry. While I was there, I was privileged to play in the orchestra and my cousin joined the choir. That was very fun.

After the Commit conference, I had three days to catch my breath. During this time, I worked back at the IBLP HQ in Chicago. They asked me to do some edits on the Embassy Institute for them.
Back on the road again a few days later, I rode in a HQ van to go to the WIT (whatever it takes) Singles Conference. The sessions were packed with convicting information teaching openness and brokenness, lies we believe, serving God in singleness, and taking the next step (marriage). My favorite session was... not really a session... it was communion, but since we are "sworn to secrecy," I can't really tell you about it. ;) God did so much in my own heart and life, revealing lies and fears. Oh how sweet it is to walk in fellowship with the Lord free from the bondage of sin!
my team: 14 (minus 1- we missed you Katie Dugan!)

I am now stationed back at Chicago HQ until I leave the country for Taiwan on the 24th. I will try to keep you all updated because I so appreciate all your prayers. Thank you so much!
