A Relaxing Week

Let me begin this week's post by wishing Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mother. I love you so much and I am so blessed to have you as my Mom!

Overall, this week was fairly relaxing. I finished writing the rough draft of my second paper and sent it off to my professor yesterday. Now all I have to do is wait to see how many corrections I have to make on both my papers, but at least the bulk of the work is done. Whew!

Because it was a lighter week work wise for me, I was able to take in a few sites

around the city and hang out with some new friends I am making. On Tuesday, I took a walking tour of Old Town London and saw such sights as the Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. Afterwards, I met up with a few friends from church and we saw a play called "Ruined" about a woman trying to run a business in the war torn Democratic Republic of the Congo. Though it was a weighty subject, the time spent with friends was a wonderful diversion.

This weekend, Alan and Ellie Kreider, former directors of the LMC are in town and in addition to preaching in church this morning, they have provided many opportunities for the staff and current residents to gather together and reminisce. I am continually blessed by the relationships I have formed here with people at the LMC and the connections I have made with our guests.

What this week holds, I do not know. It greatly depends on how quickly I receive the corrections and comments back on my papers. However, starting next Sunday I will be spending some time with an EMU-Lancaster cross-cultural that is studying in the UK. I am looking forward to getting to know new people and seeing a different part of the island.

Thank you so much for the support you have given me. Please continue to pray for direction my job situation when I return home and in the fall, as well as for the staff here at the LMC. Peace to all of you.
