Le Papillon

I've now been back in the States a little more than a week and it has been great. However there was a little wanting during day one. It was snowing in the county ! Mom's cooking is as good as ever and I have really enjoyed seeing family and friends. But the best, most precious thing has been my niece Mya who now has a little over 7 months. My second day here I took care of her all alone and we had a great time ! In fact, I've been the babysitting several days and what a blessing !

Sunday evening I was given the opportunity to update my local church family at Rocky Mountain Bible Church. Summarizing nine months in 15 minutes was very hard but I did it... with many English grammatical mistakes, haha. The right words just weren't coming to my mind.

Saturday some college friends of mine, Nathan and Carla Andreson, and a friend from WorldVenture, Kristin Dwyer, hung out in Denver for the sidewalk chalk art show. That was a great time catching up with friends... and I got to speak French ! Later on in the break I hope to go down to Colorado Springs and whitewater raft with Sam Kunnemann.

Prayer Requests: 1. Rejuvenation during the break 2. Refreshment of relationships stateside 3. Preparation for camp (beginning July 19th) 4. Preparation for my internship in the Fall 5. To lose more of myself everyday and be more consumed in God and with His glory

Praises: 1. Friends and family 2. The financial support which I currenlty have 3. The opportunity and ability to visit the States during my internship 4. The power of God 5. God's work in France 6. I had the money to replace my Palm Pilot (aka my life and brain)
