good evening. :)

WOW. this week got away from me! :D we have been so busy, it is just crazy. i didn't write anything formal this week- i am so sorry. i'll try to come up with something brilliant off the top of my head, but i'm not making any promises. :)

we had a pretty normal schedule this week, nothing too much out of the ordinary. we did get to go to the movies over the weekend, which was a lot of fun. today was our day off, and we had a 'girl's day' which was much needed. :) we had a fantastic brunch at this cute little tea garden, not something i had a concept of before coming here, and will need to explain to my American friends. :) we spent the rest of the day looking through cute little shops and relaxing. it was wonderful. it has been kind of a taxing week, for all of us.

i don't have much fun to post this week, you'll just have to stay tuned for the happy things. :) for now, i am asking that you pray diligently. spiritual attack is real for devoted Christians anywhere, but is felt especially strongly in such a dark place, doing what we are doing. Satan doesn't just hit you in easy ways, either. he attacks you in your most vulnerable, painful places. pray for strength and wisdom and faith for us. pray that i would not seek just to serve God more and know Him more, but that i would love Him more. "with all my mind, soul, heart and strength..." pray for youth camp, coming up in December; it will be here before you know it! i want us to bathe that week in prayer, God is going to do mighty things! pray for our ministry with the youth at Lyndhurst and in our community, pray that we would be led by the Holy Spirit in all we do. pray that we would not ever become discouraged, but would always keep our eyes fixed on our Saviour and King. :)

alright, well i have a prayer letter to write, so i am going to sign off for now. i might post one or two more little things today, we'll see. :) i love you all so much.

cheerio,
Sarah
