Hiya everyone!
Today has been pretty awesome. It first started out with Holiday Club, which I always love. The kids were really crazy today in my group (some of the boys just kept causing trouble), but it was good nonetheless. We got to share some of the gospel today with them, which was good.
Then after Club I went to Abi's house, and she taught me how to make welsh cakes!!! It was simply so amazing. Absolutely loved it. We just chit chatted, had a semi water/flour fight with her little brother, and made delicious welsh cakes. So good.
They were delicious, if I do say so myself. (:
We then went on a bike ride with some of the families in Gateway. It was pretty fun. I biked with Abi and Bethan pretty much the whole time. AND SUCCESS! I made it up the last two hills! We didn't go nearly as far (probably about 12 miles rather than the 27 we went to Cardiff Bay and back). It was really good. Very enjoyable.
I would ask you to pray for Abi. I love her dearly, and I have so enjoyed becoming her friend over these two months. It's been absolutely lush. I asked her what she believed, and she said she didn't know, nor did she know why she didn't know. I didn't quite know what questions to ask after that. But please pray for her. As I said, I love her dearly, and I want her to fall in love with my God. She was singing the "Our God is a great, big God" song tonight, so maybe the Lord is working in her. I hope so. How wonderful it would be to see her fall in love with the Savior! I would probably cry from happiness. I am going to miss her a lot. She is constantly asking me to move back permanently, and if there weren't other factors, I would do it in a heartbeat just to love on her every day I could.
Then after the bike ride we ate food at the pub, listened to a band play, played cards, and played with little Barnaby, who I love. I was a monster, so he just chased me around and put me in jail the whole time. So much fun. Then afterward Rosie, Nonny, Abi and I watched the Hunger Games. The boys were absolutely so obnoxious the whole entire movie but they eventually left us be after a time. But it was still great fun.
And now it's bed time. Tomorrow is my last youth group event. I was asked to give a little good bye speech, and I don't really know what to say. I'm at a loss of what I should share. Yet, in this moment, I am reminded of the man from the tombs. After he is healed, he runs after Jesus and begs to go with him. But Jesus says no and, instead, Jesus tells him to tell what God has done for him. Perhaps tomorrow I should tell them my story. So pray for me in this. Pray that I will allow the Spirit to guide me and that he will give me the words to say. I want them to love their Savior. I want them to learn what life is really about. Pray for me. Pray for them.
I appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for your prayers.
