THE MAINE EVENT!

I'M FINALLY HOME!!!! it feels so good to be in Maine again. i didn't realize just how bad i missed home until i got here. it was great to finally hear people speak with a Maine accent! i woke up just in time to see Cape Elizabeth as we circled it with the plane. it was absolutely beautiful! i can't wait to go to the ocean!!
my parents moved my bedroom but i don't care. i was just glad to have my bed again!!! my pool is open but mom says it isn't ready to swim in yet. i think on the next hot day i will try it out anyways! and we are finally going to have a yard out back!!!
finished clearing it this spring and some grass is already starting to grow!! we use to cut trees down out there every year and have a big fire when i was younger!! and we would all smell like smoke and cook red hotdogs for dinner!! i'm actually going to have my first red hotdog for the year tonight. i'm wicked excited!!!
my dad went up north today but i was unable to go. tomorrow night i will be going to a party for my friend Garrett. he graduated from college. a lot of people i haven't seen yet will be there and i am really looking forward to it!!!
my car is in the shop getting some repairs, but hopefully it will be ready to pick up tomorrow because i have my job interview on Monday. please pray that the interview will go well.
well the snappah is calling my name!!! gotta go!!!!

My Stay In England!!

well the Lord allowed me to spend 2 weeks in England with my friend Mary Qualls! we have had such a great time and it has been an experience i will never forget!!
we have been helping the Zenkers with the work at Beeches Road Baptist Chapel in Blackheath, England! the Lord has really worked in the ministry here but the people are still very cold towards the gospel. though it is hard to reach the adults the Lord has really blessed in the children's ministries! i am so thankful that i had the opportunity to work with them during my stay here. i must admit i was very uncomfortable with the positions i was put in but the Lord helped me and the experience i hope will be put to good use!
we were able to do some sight seeing as well. our first day here we went to Stratford where Shakespeare's birthplace is. it was a cute small town, but we were so tired that day that we really didn't get to enjoy it. next we went to Bath. that was a lot of fun! i tried some water in the pump room but found it to be disgustingly warm!! we were able to take a 2 day trip to London!! that was my favorite!! we saw the Tower of London, British Museum, Harrods, Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby, Big Ben and the London Eye. we had the chance to do lots of shopping as well. we also visited Oxford University. it was a nice place, but due to our lack of knowledge i'm afraid we couldn't appreciate it like we should have. today we finished our journeys with Warrick Castle!!! the castle was in the best condition out of all of the ones we saw. the spiral stairways made me dizzy but mary helped me. during our stay here we got the joy of experiencing the train, tube and cab!
please pray for continuing work here in England and a safe return for me and mary tomorrow!!
