The past week and our outreach trip!!

Hello everyone,
Things have been going great for me. I am settling in well here. We have just finished our third week and are beginning our fourth. It is hard to imagine that I have already been here three weeks. Last week we studied the nature and character of God. It was such a great week and we had a wonderful speaker. Maged, our base leader here, was our speaker. We talked about who god is and what that means to us. Also, we learned about God as our father. The week was a real blessing for me as I had the chance to explore how God loves me and that I hve a spacific reason for being here. LAst week was also a little hard, because i have been struggling with being home sick. I have really had to reay on God and trust that he has a plan for me.

This weekend we went on our fist small outreach trip!!! We went up to York, a town north of where I am living. We had a very busy, but awesome weekend. On friday, we went late night evangelising in the streets. This was new to me, but it was realy cool. Saturday, we went into Leeds, which is the third biggest city in England, and prayed over the city. The people that we were staying with is starting a YWAM base in leeds, so we got to really pray over them and see what they are all about. I really enjoyed Leeds. . . it was beautiful! On sunday, we gave some tlc to a much needed yard! it was such a great weekend and it got me so excited to go out and do our outreach phase!

Just an update. . . we have started to pray into where God wants us to go for outreach, but we are not sure yet. Your prayers would be most appreciated as we are trying to listen to what God is telling us! Thank ya'll all so much for your love and continuos support. I could not do it with out you guys! God Bless everyone and i would ove to hear from ya'll. My address is on the blog!! :)
Love,
Margaret
