Well, this summer has certainly been eventful, awesome and memorable! I'm so excited about the new chapter in my life that God has been orchestrating and am really looking forward to moving to Grafenwoehr. I'm leaving for Texas tomorrow and I can't wait to see everyone and spend time hugging and squeezing my precious nieces and nephew. And eating lots of Mexican food and Chick Fil-a :)


My time with MCYM has been great. The organization and people who work for MCYM are so awesome! God has shown me so much about himself and it's been powerful to see Him at work in the lives of people regardless of denomination or location. I think I can put God in a box sometimes and it's been so freeing to know that God is accomplishing great things, through great people everywhere! Serving as a leader at camp this summer in Italy was awesome! I loved the chance to build relationships with these teenage girls and share the love of Christ with them. There is an MCYM group on the base that I'll be at in the fall, so I will most likely volunteer with them once I get settled in.


Sean and Mary Campbell have been my gracious hosts this summer. I've lived with them for the past two months and I know they will be glad to get some privacy back at their house! I've traveled with them, watched Army Wives with them, worked along side them and really just enjoyed their friendship. Thanks for everything Sean and Mary! I'm so glad that our friendship will be able to continue over the next few years that we are in Germany together- even if I am an hour or so away. They have a baby due in October so you know I'll be in Ansbach visiting so I can get my baby fix and be a surrogate "Tia"!
