I figure nw is as good a time as any to give you a general update on how things are going, and also slot in a few pictures for your viewing pleasure :)
Things here are good, we are spending our last 2 weeks in Scotland in Arbroath/Dundee doing ministry stuff around different schools, churches, a prison, a skate park, and a few open air/prayer station type things.
The two weeks we had in Glasgow/Paisley went really well, the highglight for me being working with some of the youthworkers in the area and connecting with a group called Firestarters. Basically one weekend a month is spent living in churches and working in different outreach teams developing different ministry skills and reaching out to the east end of Glasgow. The age range is 10-20ish, so it was great being able to join up with different teams and get stuck in being involved, getting to know the kids, and being an encouragement and help to the leaders. I was solo in the 'Prayer team' and it was great having such a cool group all to myself! :)
Their website is http://www.firestartersuk.org/ for anyone interested in seeing more about them.We are here in Arbroath until next friday and then leave for a 2 day roadtrip around the scottish highlands while we debrief the trip. We are then back in glasgow for the night of sunday 27th and then back to vancouver 6am on monday 28th. Would really appreciate your prayers for continued energy and protection for this last BUSY two weeks, and then the journey home. Will keep you posted.
I haven't got much more time to write, but there are so many stories and pictures and everything that I will do my best to blog a bit more regularly if i think of any concise and interesting ways to say things :)
In the meantime, here are some pictures, with captions of course that will hopefully give you a bit more of an idea. My pictures won't work here because the computer in this library doesn't like my camea, so once i have burnt them to a disk there will be a whole bunch more. these are a few that i borrowed from Jen, one of the other girls in our team.
This is the view from our rooftop in Essaouira

mmmmm, Coke is the same all around the world.
Though.. 'life is good, with or without cocacola' (according to santos!)
