Sorry for the delay in posts- but we never made it to Cambridge.  Our accommodations fell through and we ended up staying in Sheffield.  We are sleeping at a school- and it is pretty nice, just a little freezing at night;)

For the most part we have been doing construction on the school we are staying at.  The kids come in a week and they are in the middle of adding onto the school, so we are painting and doing whatever we can do help. I have never painted so much in my life.  It has actually been fun and a lot of the guys on the construction site are our age, so it has been fun getting to know them.  We have also done some street work, and we redid an older ladies garden, or backyard.  It has been a good week and we have been very busy.  We will be in Sheffield this week and then I think we are heading back to London next week.

Our outreach ends September 14, and basically none of us have an internship yet. Tina and I have decided to change our plane tickets to December and backpack Europe for 3 months.  I am so excited, and I have the best parents in the world for supporting me in doing this.  I feel like this is the time in my life to do it, and I feel like the Lord has closed doors to open this one.  Our first stop is CinqueTerre Italy, and then Greece.  My mom is going to meet us in Greece for about a week at the end of september, and we are SO excited about that- but after that we have no idea what our plans are, so if you have ever been anywhere cool in Europe, e-mail me!!

Something being on outreach has taught me which through me by surprise was how blessed I am by my family.  So many families here do not even know each other.  Its like they are walking on their toes all the time- its so proper and almost fake.  I know thats not all of the families in the UK, but i just feel very blessed by my family.  I have definitely had my days of homesickness, but when I get homesick i guess i am just grateful I have the friends and family to be homesick for.  It was kind of hard to change my ticket because going home sounds great, but I know the Lord still has me here for a reason, and He is teaching me so much.

Anyways, I MISS yall!!! and love yall so much!

Sorry for the no pictures- ill add some later this week i do not have my camera with me.
