Such A Blessing.

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile! Everything has been crazy busy but so good!

Last week, I started training for my job and work again later today! Thank God for providing me with a job!

My room of great girls also had a dinner date night with another room of guys! It was great to get to know each other better and eat some amazing food!  Heres a picture!
Friday night, which is our free night, we went to the beach for some late night worship, but that night ended up being so much more than I was expecting!  We got there and there were a few people sitting on the beach just talking, so we went up to them and started talking with them.  Ashley and I began talking to this guy, Marcus, and we talked to him for a little over an hour!  It was so great to hear his stories, as he was born in Sweden, grew up in the Caribbean, and then has lived in many states in the US and currently lives in Canada.  It was great to get to know him better and also get to share the gospel with him.  While he was unsure of his beliefs, he was very interested in why we were here and he thought the passion we had for Christ was amazing.  God is definitely moving in his heart!

Other people also had great conversations that night and other opportunities to share the Gospel.  It was incredible that a night just planning to go hang out at the beach turned into God opening more doors to share the Gospel with others and just really get to know some more people!  Here are a few pictures from that night!

 The group that went to the beach!
Us at the beach! It was beautiful!

Saturday night, after a great social, we went out to dinner for a girl's birthday!  It ended up being a huge group but so much fun!  Heres a picture of all of us!

Finally, yesterday, we went sharing on college campuses in the area!  Becca and I had some great conversations with a few people and got to present the Gospel a few times!  God continues to open doors and give me the words to talk to people to glorify his name and continue to spread his love!

The most amazing part of the week and will probably be one of the greatest and most significant events all summer was last night.  For women's time we had a time of confession and so many girls were willing to open up about the things they were struggling with.  It was absolutely amazing that so many spoke up about their struggles and really helped me to see that I'm not alone in many of the things I also struggle with.  The group of women on this project are absolutely amazing and God is most definitely working in our hearts to bring our struggles to the table instead of hiding them.  The trust and honesty that was in the room during women's time was absolutely incredible.  These women are amazing and God has blessed me so much by putting each one in my life.

That's all for today! Have a great day and I'll try to blog again soon!




God is good, all the time.  And all the time, God is good.
