Thank you for your prayers. I wanted to give a few updates:
- My Allender Center course was finished with many tears and gratitude for what I've learned and can integrate into my life and give to others.
- Thanks to the donation of Robert Richardson (grandpa!) I have my ticket to Sweden and am able to bless my dear friends in their transition from Germany to this new community in need of great support. Unexpected, but I am very excited about this.
- Schiavitù Mai Più has produced an EXCELLENT video on our work. Please watch it here: https://vimeo.com/162434051
I would ask you to pray for:
- A JOB!! I will be ending my current, part-time job in June. I will take some time off to be in Sweden and Seattle and then hope to have a full-time teaching job in LA by August. I've sent applications out and am starting to receive some rejections. I know this is completely normal, but I really need God to guide and provide!
- With the job need, I want to be open to moving to Italy earlier if need be, but I need much clarity, strength and provision for this. What way, Lord?
- Grandparents. My grandpa Wally is declining in health and this creates a difficult dynamic in the house. Pray that I know how to support them and that they are open to Jesus.
- Last night I was able to attend a free showing of the film Emergency Exit at the Italian Institute of LA. It was powerful and sad--why young people are leaving Italy. My schedule does not often permit me to attend these functions, but I'd really like to make some Italian friends here. Pray that I would know how to do this.
I am thankful for all the wonderful friends and family I am able to enjoy and for all that I am learning. I hope you are well in the Lord!
