Easter Holiday

Well we returned to Bradford last Saturday evening. The trip was wonderful! It was so great to spend a whole week with the youth group in conversation and snow. I had plenty of opportunities to build up new relationships with some of the kids and to strengthen the old ones with the others. I did not want to come home! It is going to be really tough for me to say goodbye to this crowd when July rolls around. They have made my time here so meaningful and worth it.

Ok, onto our new house! Things are starting to look good over there, but we are not officially moved in yet because there is no hot water! So Kristen and I are currently camping out in flat 19 until Friday when we get kicked out of the estate. Well I am at least. Kristen will be leaving tomorrow at 5 in the morning to go gallavanting with her old roomie while I hold up the fort and do all the work in 28. :)

We spent Easter weekend at Taize in France in a freezing tent. But despite the cold, it was pretty incredible. It was so encouraging to see people of different cultures and different denominations (not just Mennonites!) with their different languages all come together to worship our one God. Talk about an Easter miracle. Truly.
