Only 10 more days left! It is Saturday night (July 17th) and we fly out on July 28th. In all honesty, it will be hard to leave. This has been an amazing trip, and my comfort zones, personality, and heart have been stretched (sometimes torn). But God is good and has taught (is teaching me) so much over the past 2 months. I pray that it continues even when I go home! Of course there are things I look forward to about being home: Cajun Cones, church at Highland, Chickfila, hanging out with my parents, Chili's, getting to go to the mall or the grocery store after 5pm, mexican food, BBQ, SUMMER, watermelon (there is way too much food in this list).

Since the Lipscomb team came, things have been non-stop. I have posted 2 new pages of pictures, and you will be able to tell that we have been busy. We spent one whole week at schools. Every Sunday we are in charge of church services, and Bible study on Tuesday nights. This past Sunday-Wednesday was camp at Lancelin, which we were also in charge of. Today we spent the afternoon at Banksia Juvenile Prison, a maximum security prison. Tomorrow we have 2 services we will be leading, and our last week will be spent at another couple of prisons, back at Banksia, and visiting some nursing homes. Unfortuantly no pictures from the prisons, but maybe some from the elderly homes. :)

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Water or no water, I WILL be soaking up the sun as soon as I get back to Texas! Take care and be sure to check out my pictures! :)

Love, Katie

PS- I'd like to give a shout out to Will Riggs for turning 19 on July 18th!!! Happy Birthday!

Hey everyone! The Lipscomb team is here! Though they have been here since Tuesday, they are still struggling to get over jetlag. I think it's a bit contagious... Anyway just wanted to let you know that a few new pictures are up! Happy Fourth of July!! It's freezing here and fireworks are illegal! Cheers! -kmr
