Celebrate it is SUNDAY!!! :) We had church at the park today and it was awesome as always!!! We had an amazing worship time today with all 3 volunteer teams that are here, our high school interns, our m's and their families, and of course the regular interns! Our bible study today was over Acts 16:1-5 and I found out amazing news today! We had 3 salvations this week! One of the stories I wanted to share with you... One of our teams met a Christian Japanese woman who came to talk to them during 5me! She was so excited that she was talking to a Christian! Her and her husband are christians but her son was not. Her husband recently passed away and the son is actually a few years younger than the interns at this station! So the lady asked if our intern would be willing to meet with her son and tell him about Jesus! OF COURSE!!! Well after 2 meetings, this week the son asked Christ into his life!!! Such an amazing and heart breaking story! To know and see that this whole family will join together in heaven one day is such a blessing! Praise the Lord! :D Today was a very hot day at the park so park evangelism didnt go as nice as we would have liked it to! If there was a pool at our park, i bet we could have met and hung out with so many people! Tonight we had a girl party for our journeywoman Audrey who leaves after serving here for 2 years. She leaves on wednesday and we are going to miss her! she has been such a blessing to meet this summer and so supportive of my interest in the journeyman program! Anyway tonight we had a chips and queso while tie dying party! It was so much fun and we all did our own shirts! :) The chips and queso came from Rachel, my teammates mom. It was in the package she brought with her when she came to visit a few weeks ago!!! :) So today was a fun sunday and great fellowship and going away party.
