I made it off the plane!!! (two months late)

After Katherines' post I thought I should do my own, so sorry that it is so late!

Finally getting to sit down and write a super late post. I am so sorry I have done such a poor job of keeping in touch and haven't gotten to contact those that have been praying and supporting me!

There are so many thank you notes WAY over due. I just want to let all of those that have given financially and been faithful to be thinking and praying for me that I am on this trip in Wales because of y'all. You are in this adventure to spread the gospel to Wales just as much as I am!

Well to summarize the past weeks I'll give you some of the highlights:
  • 1st view of the Windsor Castle
  • dinner with the Gawedas
  • dinner with the Smiths
  • meeting Christ Church
  • settling in our new house
  • touring the Welsh country side
  • Sarah and Mike arriving!
  • Team retreat to Ffaild-y-brenin
  • Fish and chip "experience"
  • 1st guiness
  • my walk across the Ffaild-y-brenin hills to see the ocean
  • web caming back home
  • getting hooked up with the Martin caregroup
  • retreat with Bettws High
  • 1st day of school :)
  • meeting the Woods, our girls "parents"
  • Sunny Sausage sizzle at guys house:
  • Climbing trees
  • 1st Kabab(scrumdiliumptious)













  • Student beach trip
  • meeting my life group
  • retreat with life group (mud fight, talent show, & the whole nine yards)
  • student hill walk to an amazing Newport overlook!
There are a bunch more I could mention!
