After that, my friend Katy and I were blessed with the opportunity to go to Bellingham, WA and see our amazing friend Tabitha. She is interning at the Chi Alpha up there, and we were able to go to their worship service. We were able to hang out with another intern, too, Michelle, and she was great. She showed us around town, and took us on hikes that were challenging but worth the view! It was so beautiful there and it was great to see Tabitha and the life the Lord has given her there. The Lord always shows me how big He is when i go somewhere so far away and they have the same understandings about the Lord. He really does speak to all of us! Praise God, because how impossible would that be to think we were the only ones who could share the love of Christ!
We also had a "pioneering bootcamp" to get ready for starting the Chi Alpha at Colorado State University. All 10 of us were in attendance (first time we all even met together) and it was stretching, mind blowing, and eye opening. The Lord was totally with us giving us supernatural understanding of ourselves and our personalities and how they are going to work together. Paul Austin, the director for the Big Sky district came and taught us. He really opened our eyes to what it is going to be like when we get there, and sitting and talking about everything for 3 whole days was definitely needed! It was great getting to know each other and Paul. I am so thankful for the whole team, we all really do bring different giftings and talents to the table, and we all are seeking after what the Lord would have us do on this campus.
We moved into our good friend's, Eli and Mandy Stewart's house for the summer. They are in California visiting Mandy's family and connecting with some of their supporters, so they asked us to house sit for them and they are giving us a killer deal. The Lord always provides for us, and we are truly grateful! The rest of the summer is looking like this: raising support, meeting with friends and family before we leave the beginning of August. Please be praying for us as we try to raise the rest of our budget!
