Newcastle

Hi friends,
We've been in Newcastle for 4 days now and it has been an adventure! The first day was filled with driving madness...the hardest part is watching out for the cars on your left side, the whole time we were in the city all my passengers on the left side kept saying "oohhh" "ahhh" "watch out" . Driving on the highway is much easier, there are roundabouts in the middle of the highway, but you don't have to worry about all those other cars coming at you because there is a large divider in between both sides.

We have been doing a lot of practical service and its been a great blessing. The people are great and it's amazing to see what God is doing here in Newcastle. We are hoping to hit the streets Thursday and Friday and we've invited the youth to the Upper Room (the church's coffee house) for a game night Friday night. Please pray for us.

Our team is doing great, we have had some really blessed times together of sweet fellowship and uncontollable laughter! It is very evident how God has put us together for this time and how He has brought us to this place.

England is just backwards from everything that makes sense to my brain, so it can be a bit of a challenge, but God's grace is sufficient.

The pastor and His wife have two little ones named Caleb and Joy and I've spent most of my time with these two, they are so fun... Joy says "excuse me" which sounds like "accuse me" for everything! It basically means "pay attention to me now!" Caleb is a sweet older brother who when he prays at night before bed thanks Jesus for EVERYTHING down to the wallpaper :)
So awesome!

It's been a real blessing to meet up with my friend Jackie here, to see the ministry the Lord has given her and her home and friends. I'm thankful for the opportunity to see what her life is like, and to fellowship and pray with my sweet friend.

Again please pray for the rest of our time here that we will be a blessing to the church body here, that God will use us as a light to the city and for our safety and finances.

That's about all for now...thanks for your prayers
