This past month can best be described as a GIFT. At the beginning of the month I had the opportunity to travel to London with my God-send friends Carol and Lauren (a mother and daughter who are a part of the Hohenfels community) as well as with my long lost college roommate Jes. We stayed in a quaint bed and breakfast, saw the main attractions like good tourists ought, and most importantly: exercised and thoroughly embraced our British accents. It was disconcerting hearing English speakers at first – but a welcome relief after an endless battle attempting to decipher German.
Having Jes Vuk join forces with us in Hohenfels was a source of sweet encouragement at a time when it was direly needed. After one academic year here in Hohenfels, my initial vision and desire for the students has not expired; but it has grown cloudy with fatigue and redundancy. Please pray that I finish strong in the weeks ahead – especially during the month of June when we take kids to Beach Break. For 2 back to back weeks we will be on the Italian coast sleeping in tents, eating notorious camp food, and engaging in significant spiritual conversations with teens. I am teeming with confidence and excitement concerning how God will move in the 300+ campers’ lives this summer. Please battle for these kids in prayer –they will be coming with a lot of personal (intangible) baggage – how the King longs to set them free!
The most recent news I have to impart is that I’ve decided to fulfill my 2 year commitment with Young Life at a different installation. There are a number of factors that led me to this decision and it wasn’t an easy one. As it stands now, I will more than likely be heading to an Air Force community in Aviano, Italy. I am extremely excited about this next step and will be coming “home” (to Colorado) to fundraise before I embark on the next leg of my journey! I can’t wait to catch up with most of you – expect a phone call from yours truly sometime in August, or sooner if you’re lucky.
