lectures started today!

Hey everyone,
     I had my first lecture today, so I thought it would be good to share with ya'll what it is I am studying and what I do all day. The lecture phase is a 12 week program; focasing on a different topic every week. This week we are learning about hearing and obeying God's voice. We will have guest speakers come in about lecture on these topics. Today we disscussed what it means to hear God's vioce and what are the different ways in which he talks to us. We will be going more in depth as time goes on. As for what I do all day, we have a set schedule for the week. Some days are different than others, but a general schedule is time with God and worship in the morning, followed by a lecture until lunch. After lunch we have work duties for a few hours and then depending on the day we will have more lectures, small groups, bible study, and 1:1 time, which is where we have the chance to sit down with our leaders to talk about how we are spiritually. That is a very ruff look at my schedule all day, but it does give an idea of what I do while I am here. I am very excited about what God has in store for me while I am here. I hope everyone is doing well and I miss you all!!

I finally made it!

Hello everyone,
    I made it to england last night around 9:00, uk time. The journey here was very long and tiring, but i managed to make it. My friend Sian picked me up from the airport. She was such a blessing to me. She took me back to her house and her mother fed me and let me take a shower. It was so wonderful. 

I have met some of my team mates here and they all seem to be very nice. It is beautiful where I am staying. I am in this huge old building. We do everything in this one building. I will be posting pictures as soon as I can. Thank ya'll for all of your love and support. I can not wait to share with everyone what God is doing. I miss you all very much!
                                                                                                         Love,
                                                                                                      Margaret

It is almost time!!

Hi everyone!! I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who has supported me. I would not be able to do this with out ya'll! I leave wendesday, september 24th for England. That is in two days!!! I will be living in a town north of london, called Nuneaton. I will be here for three months studing God's word and preparing for what is to come. As of right now I am only one thousand dollars away from being at my goal of eight thousand dollars, which is unbelievable. God has really been providing for me in every way. Over the next six months, I am going to be posting updates of what is going on with me. This seems to be the best way to stay in touch with everyone. I will also be posting all of my contact information and pictures of my journey. I am very excited about what God is doing in my life and I can not wait to share with everyone my new adventures. Thank you all again for your many prayers and love!

God Bless,
