hey say a prayer for me! one week till africa! till then, have a pizza rustica on me! ciao!

wow....

europe is a busy place!!! so gelo, ray, and i have been doing so much that its crazy! i mean, we've totally needed to get some sleep. this week i've served at a london shout, played in a praisefest for the CFC community in london, traveled to vienna and served at a high school based camp for international students from around the world, and traveled back to london, and am now waiting to travel to oslo, norway tomorrow morning. i've done one load of laundry and taken a bunch of pictures. my power converter broke and now i can't dl my pictures! yipes... soon i'll be in rome after this norwegian SHOUT...

i had a dream about everybody back home during the break time of the youth camp... the camp was during the week by the way...

i really did see everyone, the nw frequency was in costume ready to perform, and renttafence was tuning up. and la and aileen g said whats up and we hugged, and i finally saw ades and aleah.... yea... felt real good. that was  a good dream. hugs and love. it felt like home. i know it was the prayers of the people who love me that drove those dreams to my head. and in return, all the prayers are being returned to them... its all love out here...

every time i miss home, i just fall back to God and feel his love surround me. makes me feel great and alive! so to everyone back home... i miss you guys! hope i make you proud! God bless....

i love scamp

oh yea... and there are vienna sausages in vienna... you have to enjoy them in the states!!!

destination: london

i'm here in london now with former full time worker annie nunez. it was pretty sad leaving town and everyone that i love.

they say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and i just took the first one... here's to 'more to come'.

and a special thanks to all those who gave me stuff, money, cards, and prayers. you know who you are and you know that i appreciate you guys and love you.
