Shelter update.

Dear friends and family,

Thank you for your prayer and support, I have felt the power of your prayers and appreciate the communication. Things here at the shelter are going well. As a community the staff members & I are growing closer every day.

A family friend was able to stop by one day, he had his layover in Amsterdam and so we were able to spend a few hours together. A week or so later his son was able to come and we spent the whole weekend together. Among other things we went to the flea market and had sushi.

Work at the hostel is going well too, I'm mainly working shifts in the Cafe. This gives me some really cool opportunities to talk to guests and staff members.

This past week was prayer week, so we set aside a room in the house to be our prayer room. We also had different classes on prayer and connecting with God. It was a really good time and I learned a lot.

So life continues, It's racing by so fast. It's hard to think that I've been here for a whole month already! I feel like I am really growing and that this is really the place that God wants me to be right now.

Please pray:

Pray that I would be able to process, internalize, and put into action all the things I'm learning.
Pray that I would be open to the things that God is teaching me about himself.
Pray that everyone would work together in the community and that we would be able to work past cultural differences.
Pray that I will have a greater dependence on God.

Out to eat with a family friend from home.
Getting ice cream at the park!
