Rounding the Corner

This week, I am working with a team from Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is so great to have people here from so close to where I am from. The team arrived here yesterday, and will be leaving Saturday morning. They have been really great so far, you can tell that they are from Minnesota, they seem very down to earth, small town USA kids, which I love. They are more intimidated by the people on the streets, and are a little more hesitant, but I hope we can break that, and they will be able to really grow spiritually this week!

Everyone of us summer interns are really feeling that we are hitting the end of this, I know for myself I am not attaching myself emotionally as I have done in the past, I feel like I am now ready to be at home, but I will make the most of my time here, because time will fly by & soon enough I will be home :) so excited.

I have decided to get baptized here, in San Francisco. I will be getting baptized on Sunday, July 24 at 3:00, in the ocean by Steve, who is the director of Mission Adventures & has been with us from the start. I am very excited to take this leap of faith, I feel I have been ready to do this for awhile, I just haven't had the courage to attend classes & had fear of talking in front of hundreds of people. I really feel God is telling me to get baptized here, I never have had close friends, who took me for who I really was, I always had to measure up to something, was always trying to be better then, but here they accept me, and have walked along side me on my spiritual journey. These past few months, I have truly been able to grow spiritually, and I have seen God work countless times. I had to leave the country and get into the YWAM bubble to do it, but I am so glad I did, I have become such a better person, I truly believe that. 

I am so excited to bring what I have learned in San Francisco & apply it in Winkler. I want to really make a difference in lives there.

25 days till I see the best people in the whole wide world!!!!
