soooo much to update on so i'm going to try to keep it brief (maybe it would help if i knew how to spell that)

middle school week was awesome. i had so much fun playing with kids, middle schoolers just play which made the week so much more fun than high school week, it was such a plesant suprize (i'm debating if thats a z or s...my english isnt so great anymore). we went snorkeling, cliff jumping, toured around and ate tons of gelato. i had the 6th and 7th grade girls, most of which i had never met but relationships formed deep and quick. we had tons of incredible conversations and on the last night two of the five girls gave their life to Jesus. it was amazing, and so not about me. two of the other girls rededicated their lives to Christ (i hate that term, i think they just relaized that Jesus is someone worth being serious about) and the other on already knew Christ. it was such a good week. one of the girls already moved to america but the other four are here for at least another year so that will be fun.




so i left the day after middle school week for ireland. ireland is amazing, second only to portugal in my heart. we went up to giants causeway (google it if you dont know what it is because it was one of the most amazing things ive seen) and then hung out in belfast. we also hung out in dublin, toured around in a water bus (part land tour, part water) roared at strangers with little kids, drank guinness at the storehouse and listened to live music on temple bar, pretty awesome.





the day after we got back from ireland we left for paris. i am not a fan. it might be because i was sick. might because its over rated but reguardless, i am not a fan. perhaps my favorite part was hanging out at the cavern and listening to this really fun band cover 90s songs part in english part in french. they had this really cool funky folk vibe going on.


two days after paris i was canoeing down the river that separates luxembourg from germany with some of our high school students. as i am temporarily running our club beyond ministry for the summer while we wait for sallys arrival in sept.


so thats whats going on with me. today zack taught me how to change my oil and as soon as i finish this i'm heading to john and shannons going away party. i leave for a week long conference in three days or so. then a week after that i am headed home for two weeks, which i couldnt be more excited about. it will be so nice to just chill.
