The first half I spent in Edinburgh with some Scottish friends, who I met at Moody in Chicago (they and there family just took me in as part of the family - it was touching!);---[see right]and in the second half of break, I recruited for Belfast Bible College (where I studied abroad there in 2007) and participated at the European Mission-Net conference in Germany [see photos]. Overall, I loved my time and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know life-giving people from all over Europe.
God knew I needed this time to reorient and be encouraged; although I enjoy my role in the dorm here in Germany, there is some comfort that I probably won't work with teenage boys forever. :) In the meantime, I am seeking to be faithful in my work here while I do.
I start up again with my responsibilities on Saturday and the guys return on Monday. :)
Happy New Year to all!
Love, Michelle
