My, my time can get away from you

These past weeks have been good.. kinda weird though... I feel like I've been "trying to find my place" like where I fit into this ministry. I have to remind myself that it will all come in time. I've only been here for almost 3 weeks! We have been preparing for the Shine Seminar coming up this week.

Its going to be rad! We have 14 full time students right now (including myself). I look forward to taking in all the info.. we have something like 29 speakers in 6 weeks! Haha its going to be soo good! People are coming from all over the world. The Shine Seminar is a 6 week conference to promote understanding of sexual injustice and the Christian response to it. The last 3 days we will be hosting a Networking conference with people from all over with all different ministries in human trafficking.. I am REALLY looking forward to meeting all these wonderful people.

My friend Brooke is here working with The Shelter, it's so nice to have her near.. we just got to spend the evening together this past weekend, its crazy how much comfort you can find in another American.

I've decided to change some things around. If I stay for 4 months like I was planning on doing I would have to start my Visa process, however once I receive my visa I would have to also get Dutch insurance right away and start paying for it the day I get my visa. But i'll be gone for the Summer so I won't even be benefiting for what I'd be paying for. Its only $50 to change my plane ticket back 3 weeks so I will be in the 90 day tourist visa window. When i come back to A-town in September/October I will start applying for all this then. So I am coming back home April 28th now.

Before I come back though, Brooke and I were talking about taking a weekend trip to England... that should be soo exciting! I've never been but have always wanted to and flying is SOOO cheap throughout Europe.

Prayer Requests
1. That I would find a good/cheap bike
2. That I would take a step back and really learn at this Seminar/and that I would take every opportunity to learn in life.
