London.

We debriefed in London at Queensbury Methodist Church. After 3 weeks of intense ministry in both Northern Ireland and the Republic we spent our final 5 days preparing to go home. It was a great time of fellowship filled with testimonies, worship, memorizing scripture, and communion. It was a good way to wrap up the summer and say goodbye to the family we had become over the course of the summer. Of course, we had our challenges as well. Bethany had to take one of the girl students to the hospital for an infected leg and spent the majority of Friday there taking care of her. Also, we had quite a bit of excitement and frustration that evening after our commissioning service when we realized the church had been broken into and several packs and items had been taken, including Job and Bethany's passports. Yet God is good and by his grace Job and Bethany were let on the plane with us 12 hours later as we prepared to leave Europe.

It was such a blessing to serve with this incredible team of 45 individuals, and I am so grateful to God that he called me this summer when I had been so convinced otherwise.
